Lower eyelid surgery with fat transfer
Dear zany28,
Each surgeon has their own method for making your eyes look better
My preference is using fat transfer and not fat repositioning because it works better in my hands
Additionally, I can use the fat to precisely sculpt the lower eyelid and cheek
After the fat transfer heals, then we may consider a laser for any fine lines left over
Best regards,

Transconjunctival blepharoplasty and fat repositioning is the best procedure for fat bags and tear troughs. Skin looseness can be treated with chemical peel or laser.

Fat transfer does not require trans conjunctival blepharoplasty.
Hi.
Just going by your history, fat transfer (no blepharoplasty) with laser resurfacing may be a good choice for you. The problem is that any lower eyelid intervention is very technique sensitive.

Fat Repositioning vs Fat Transfer in the Lower Eyelids
If you have excess fullness of the lower eyelids secondary to fat, repositioning is a better procedure. You avoid the risk of an irregular contour with fat injections. If necessary a laser treatment or a chemical peel can be used to tighten lax skin.
