Upper and lower blepharoplasty 5 yrs ago. I recently noticed a small amount of fat under one eye. How is this treated? (Photos)

I am 56 years old. The fat I see under one eye is very small, but I notice it in certain light. I have an appointment with my occuloplastic surgeon that did the surgery. I was wondering what some thoughts are on how this is usually treated.

Anytime you raise the eyelids, the redundant skin will gather more in the superior sulcus. In order to improve symmetry you have to address 3 issues: brow position, eyelid height and contour, and redundant skin. Revision surgery is possible but can be challenging. Best to see an eyelid expert.

You would be a good candidate for lower lid blepharoplasty with fat grafting or fat transposition. This surgery would remove the “bag” from the lower lid and give a smooth transition to the cheek. In my opinion, surgery is the best way to address the issue.

To be honest, I don't see a substantial issue with your eyes in these photos that necessarily warrant doing more surgery.

It looks like you have some hollowing. it may be that the fat repositioning wasn't enough vs. didn't work/last. Hard to know for sure. You could consider more volume in that area as a corrective course. - don't need to do filler if you don't want to, I would consider fat grafting if I were you....

I think you should try sending some photos again, showing both your previous and current condition, so that I or another colleague can give you a reliable answer.
