Fat Transfer under the eyes
It depends on what you mean by under the eyes. If you are referring to the lower eyelid itself I would advise against that.

Save yourself and avoid having fat placed in the lower eyelid.
Fat in the lower face and cheek, even the forehead is brilliant. However, the lower eyelids lack enough tissue coverage to adequately hide the grafted fat.

The safest course is to avoid this treatment for your lower eyelids.

Problems after Fat Graft below Eyelids
While the long-term results of fat grafts tend to be good in the face and body, the eyelid area is not as forgiving and it should be done with caution. If the fat becomes lumpy, hard, firm or visible, it is very difficult (if not impossible) to fix. Make sure your surgeon is familiar with this technique and can tell you what to expect.
