Maybe fillers would be better

Sirish Maddali, MD answers: Will Cheek lift improve hollow lower eyelids ?

I had an aggressive lower blepharoplasty with excessive fat removal. I am now considering a Lower face lift/Neck lift and the surgeon wants to raise the cheeks as part of the lift. I understand this will give me more volume up to the orbital rim, but my hollowness is above the rim.

Given the extra healing time, would I not be better skipping the Cheek lift and treating the lower eyelid with fillers or fat? Thanks

It is really hard to address this question without pictures. If you have already had an "aggressive" blepharoplasty, I would recommend using fillers in this area and skip the cheek lift. However, if your surgeon (the only one who has examined you) can explain his/her understanding of your situation and sees a cheek lift as a possible solution, then that might be worth a consideration, but I would still lean toward fillers. Good luck.
