Consultation with Oculoplastics Surgeon

Although general plastic surgeons and facial plastic surgeons have experience in eye plastic surgery, Oculoplastic surgeons dedicate the bulk of their practice to this type of surgery.

Fat transfer

Fat transfer to the upper and lower lid is common procedure, done under local anesthesia or sedation, your choice.
