These are cholesterol deposits and are best treated by surgical removal. This can be done in an office. There is a chance of more deposits in the future.
Your doctor is correct in saying that there is only so much fat to work with. That is a correct statement if the source is your lower eyelid fat. It is difficult to tell without photos, but at this point, your options are to use a filler or another fat graft from a different area. Best of luck.
Hello bekpayne,Its hard to tell if the surgeon did fat transfer with the plication. Edema is very common for 4 weeks from this surgery. I would let it settle in the next 2 weeks maybe with some mild steroids. Have this discussion with your surgeon. If it still persists there are ways to fix it...
