30s male, fat transfer for lifelong tear troughs? (Photos)

December 3, 2022
Asked By:Turtletron in Bells, North Carolina

I'm a male in his 30s and have had lifelong tear troughs. Most of the before/after pictures I see online show pretty good success with filling in the undereye/cheek area with fat to smooth out the troughs. I had a consultation with a doctor who suggested getting a blepharoplasty as well to cut the undereye fat and pull it down into the trough area, then fill in some fat. However to me it seems the damage to my face and extra cost may not be worth it. He is willing to do either or both.
