Injected Fat Causing Eye Wrinkling?
In 2005 I had both upper eyelid injected with fat (from the abdomen fat), and they looked puffy afterwards, specially the right eye. Last year I gained weight and noticed that my upper eyelid is getting bigger! so 16 days ago I made fat removal surgery (little amount was removed) from the upper right eyelid, I notice now that as the swelling goes away the skin is sinking in some areas, and the remaining fat feels hard and shows, and my eyelid looks "wrinkled" or.. old. is that normal?

It is still very early after surgery to judge. you can be swallen and healing and that feels a little hard.
I hope that what you had is an upper lid blepheroplasty where fatand skin was removed, and not only fat. Very few instances need only fat removal and no skin removal.
If as you described you had only right upper lid fat removal then you will have depressions where the fat was removed. If that is the case you will need another procedure to correct the depressions.

I been doing fat grafting for 12 years and I have only done fat grafting twice ,and it was for the patients...
