Is it Okay to Combine Blepharoplasty with Cheek/Under Eye Fat Transfer?

January 27, 2012
Asked By:face_it in NY

I am deciding between getting a U/L transconjunctival bleph or that procedure combined with fat transfer to the cheeks and and perhaps under eye if needed. I have bags where fat needs to be removed and transposed. In addition, I have a very gaunt face (flat cheeks) and temples. Will the swelling from adding fat to my cheeks distort my eyes or stitches? Is it best to do the eyes alone, add fat later?
