Will Thermage "melt" the fat that has been injected under the eye and tighten the skin?

I have had a fat injection under the eyes about 3 months ago and I have been back to consult my doctor as the fat has lumped. She recommended that I consider a non invasive treatment, known as Thermage. Will this treatment work? What are the risks and would it perhaps make my problem worse? Should I wait for another 3 months before considering any other treatments?

A: Thermage in the peri-orbital region: caution

Otto Joseph Placik, MD

I am not that familar with the use of Thermage in the peri-orbital region but that raises concerns for me and I would: Definetly wait the 3 months Definitely consult with another surgeon familar with facial thermage prior to undergoing any additional treamtents
