Lumps After Upper and Lower Eyelid Fat Injections

Sandye,
I do not inject fat or fillers around the eyes because visible lumps beneath the eyelid skin and permanent discoloration happens with an alarming frequency. Check previous questions about filler injections around the eyes and fat injection eye problems on Realself and the internet-it should give you pause.
To correct hollow eyes and dark circles under the eyes I place a composite fat graft under direct vision through a tiny laser incision placed on the inside pink portion of the eyelid.
I suggest you do an internet search on hollow eyes and laser correction of dark circles under the eyes to learn more about new techniques.
Massage may help soften the lumps and increase resorption of the fat.
After having lumps the first time I would discourage you from having further injections of any kind around your eyes.
If you want to correct hollow eyes or dark circles, a transconjunctival arcus marginalis release and fat grafting is the appropriate surgical procedure.
You can see before and after pictures of composite fat grafting results for removal of dark circles.

it is important to be very careful with fat injection around the eyes. The key in this location is very small amounts and as deep as possible. If you see lumps early they could be massaged down. I rather not use local steroids as the results could be unpredicable. hope that helps

Sandye,
If you had problems with your first surgery, I would be cautious about having another similar procedure. It would be best to wait as you had originally planned to let all the swelling resolve and the tissues settle. Also, if you are concerned, it may be best to get a second opinion. Good luck.
