“Lump After Tear Trough Fat Transfer - Minnesota”

Not Worth It

Posted 4 Jan 2012
I received fat grafting when I had a bilateral brachioplasty. My surgeon told me that since we were taking the fat from my arms, we could use it under my eyes instead of doing a lower lid blepharoplasty. The fat transfer did nothing for me, and left a lump under my right eye.
He also did a brow lift to address my severe upper eyelid drooping. All I wanted in the first place was an upper eyelid blepharoplasty. Nice and simple. All he needed to do was remove some skin. Instead he talked me into the other surgeries which did not work out.
The brow lift did NOTHING for my excess skin on my eyelids. The only positive to come from this was that he did a good job on the brachioplasty. I am furious about the rest. An open brow lift is a big procedure....and it was for not! Buyer's beware!! Go with your gut instinct and don't let them talk you into procedures you don't need.
