Hi I am 38. Following a traumatic and lengthy detox last year my lower eyelid contours changed, the pretarsal bulge no longer sat neatly under the eyelids, hence the smile lines changed, I now had 'flat' lower eyelids. I don't know if the fat slipped down or if the muscle loosened? I had juvederm filler for the depression of tear troughs but it looked awful, like eye bags. I don't smile anymore. I would now love to have a blepharoplasty with fat repositioning. Can a surgeon perform one if there is still some filler left?? Thanks
Answer: Eyelid surgery You have found out that fillers are no good for the lower lids. I also recommend fat removal instead of repositioning. Repositioning of the fat sounds like a good idea, but in reality, it really doesn't do what you think it will and you will return later to simply gave the fat removed. Keep it simple!

Answer: Blepharoplasty and residual filler in eyelids You can still undergo a blepharoplasty with fat repositioning even though there is some Juvederm filler still in the orbit. It is important to make sure that the Juvederm is not within the orbital septum creating puffiness since this will just extend the healing time significantly. If there is only a minimal amount of filler left in the eyelids, you can go ahead and proceed with the eyelid surgery.

Answer: Hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved prior to blepharoplasty. Hyaluronic acid can be dissolved with an injectable enzyme, so it is possible to remove the product before undergoing blepharoplasty. That way, it will be clear to see what microsculpting of fat needs to be done.

Answer: Best to wait for fillers to dissipate before blepharoplasty I strongly believe that it is best until all of the filler is gone before proceeding with eyelid surgery. Filler present in the tear trough area can masquerade the orbital rim and allow for misjudgment when removing eyelid fat. It can make the surgery more technically difficult and thus increase the chance of a poor outcome.
