One of my questions was how to avoid permanent dry eye and although there have been several different opinions the one I'm finding to be a common answer is to avoid cutting the muscle. I have loose skin that needs removal but there is also a fat pad in the corner, from what I read the fat lies below the muscle. Is the only way to fix that spot to cut the muscle & take the fat out? Is that section of muscle an area that can produce permanent dry eye? I'm assuming tests will follow before surgery.
