I had lower bleph surgery plus fat transfer 2 months ago. Is it normal to still have lumps or bags under eyes?

Asked By:georgette11 in Los Angeles, CA

2 months ago I got transconjunctival lower blepharoplasty with a fat transfer to prevent the hollow eye look. At two months I have a horizontal lump under each eye that I imagine are the fat injections. It looks as though the doctor removed the bags except for the last tiny bit. Needless to say I'm disappointed and hoping these remaining lump/bags will disappear eventually. Will they dissipate or would you say I am at my "final look" now?
