It is difficult to fill in the area under the eyes. Many people choose to have fat injected in the hollows under the eyelids. This is appealing because it has the chance of being a "permanent" correction. The problem is that fat is living tissue. In order for it to last it needs a good blood supply. That usually is not a problem around the eyes. However if any portion of fat does not stay completely healthy, with a good blood supply, it either shrinks or becomes firm. If that happens in any of the fat under your eyes you can see lumps and bumps. This is because the eyelids are very thin and the tissues "telegraph" through the thin eyelid skin.
If you had bumps after 6 months, it was reasonable to have them removed, through a blepharoplasty type operation. At this point you should wait about 3 months before you make any decisions about the quality of the results. If there is still some irregularities in the contour of your eyelids, these could then be treated with Restylane which has the advantage of being adjustable if there are any problems in the future.
