Lumps After Fat Grafting?
A dr said "-lower eyelid, The skin there is usually pretty thin, and resorption of the fat is common.

These changes can be especially noticeable as your weight fluctuates." does this mean after fat grafting on upper eyelid, i shouldn't be surprise if i get lumps after years? means i should avoid fat grafting? is it true?

Eyelid fat injection
No where on the face is technique more important than around the eyes. As mentioned by others, the skin is quite thin and unforgiving of contour irregularity. The fat needs to be injected quite deep and no higher than the level of the orbital rim.

And the instruments we use in fat grafting and the surgoical strategies we use are very different when we fat graft the eyelids, versus the breast, for example. People get into trouble with the lower eyelid sometimes when the instruments used to both...

Fat grafting for the lower eyelids
When performed correctly, fat grafting is an excellent option for under-eye hollowing or tear troughs. It produces stable results and soft contours when micro-fat injections are performed with a very fine cannula. It would be extremely rare to see lumps or fluctuation if the procedure was performed by an experienced surgeon.
