What are the risks associated with a second lower blepharoplasty to remove left over lateral fat?

May 24, 2024
Asked By:songsonic in Bethesda, Maryland

I had a transconjunctival lower bleph done over one year ago to remove herniated fat in the lateral region of both eyes. Apparently, not enough fat was removed and the surgeon told me last week that the remaining fat migrated from the sides of my eyes into the empty lateral pockets. She offered to repeat the procedure because she did not get all of the fat out the first time. I am afraid of possible hollow/sunken look, bulging eyes, cysts, fluid.. what are possible risks of repeat procedure?
