Lumps after fat grafting under eyes, is there a way to get rid of them without muscle or nerve damage? (Photos)

Question

Since 18 years I have lumps under the eyes. I already had surgery at the left 10 years ago. It looks good, but I have a damage: I can not squint (lateral) Amazingly it is no problem. I want to get rid of the lumps at the right. But is there a way not to have muscle damage or nerve damage? What kind of damage do I have at the left?

Based on your photo, I suspect that that the lump of fat below your right eye may be superficial. If it is superficial, a direct excision with a scar on the lower eyelids skin should heal well. I hope this helps! Sincerely, Dr Joseph

It appears that lumps are related to lower eyelid fat pads? Transconjuctival or open, muscle/skin lower blepharoplasty would provide good solution for your problem. In person consultation with a board certified plastic or oculoplastic surgeon is recommended. Good luck.
