Can Eye Bags from Fat Transfer Be Corrected Through Blepharoplasty?

The Contour of the lids can be improved with lower eyelid surgery or laser lipolysis. We are one of the few pracitces to have extensive experience with endo laser surgey of the eyes, face, forehead and neck. These smartlifting techniques help to balance the contour irregularities. Your should wait at least a year to see if the fat will be absorbed. Swelling after the procedure is common.

 

Your bags may be festoons (swelling of the upper cheeks) which can sometimes occur after fat injections.  This is typically temporary and can sometimes respond to dilute steroid injections.

Tuscany,
I would not rush in too quickly to try and remove fat as that can cause more swelling. For the next three months you should massage the lumps as this can often redistribute the fat. If there are specific lumps after 6 months, then they can be reduced with transconjunctival fat removal, usually in an easy procedure. Fat transfer under the eyes can be a very rewarding procedure, so a surgeon with an extensive experience in these injections should be sought out. Good luck.

Regarding the dark circles - filling the depressions under the eyes does not normally correct these circles unless they are created by shadows.
Regarding the bags - The most important information needed to correct your problem (under eye bags and lumps) is to determine exactly where the fat was injected. If the fat was injected into the sub-dermal or SOOF spaces a transconjunctival blepharoplasty would not be the best approach. If the fat was injected below the orbital septum, then a transconjunctival approach would work fine. If the injections were in both in front of and behind the orbital septum, I would prefer the sub-ciliary incision allowing easier access to all spaces.

Tuscany, Operations around the eye can be complicated, especially if you have already had other procedures affecting the tissues (fat grafting / injectables). You can likely be helped, but it is important that you go to someone with experience. It would help if you would post a picture so we could give you more specific advice.
