I am 25 years old and I have had fat injections under my eyes about 3 months ago. I had hollowness and dark circles around my eyes, and my plastic surgeon suggested a fat injection. However, I found that the fat has lumped and the dark circles are still visible. It now looks like a have bags under my eyes. I'm really not happy with the results of the procedure and I want to know if it can be corrected by transconjuctival blepharoplasty. However, I don't want all the fat to be taken out because I have found that my eyes aren't as dry as they used to be before the fat transfer.
I am really worried about the bags under my eyes. It makes me look tired and I am really conscious about it. Please give me some advice. Thank you.
Answer: Fat transfer lumps under the eyes can be corrected with transconjunctival blepharoplasty Tuscany, Yours is a common problem following fat injection to correct dark circles under the eyes. I would wait another 2-3 months for the fat to be less prominent and would recommend massage of the lumps to hopefully improve the appearance. I use a transconjunctival laser incision on the inside of the lower eyelid in the pink part-the conjunctiva. This avoids an external scar and incision which can cause sagging of the eyelid, which could worsen your dry eye. This is a very tricky operation. Hopefully the fat was injected in a uniform plane beneath the muscle so that it will be easily accessable. If the fat is in the wrong place-too low beneath the eyelid it will have to be removed-hopefully the fat can be replaced in the hollow, but if not a composite graft can be taken from around your belly button and grafted into the correct location. Ipl treatments can lighten the color of the skin in the dark circle. Find an expert plastic surgeon whyo specializes in eyelid surgery-this procedure is not for the faint of heart.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Bags after fat grafting
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.

Answer: Bags under the eyes at the age of 25 The bags under the eyes at age of 25 are probably more related to allergies and/or hereditary pigmentation issues. As there is very little fat present in the lower eyelids at this age, it is very difficult to remove any fat that has been placed in the orbital sockets completely. Bags underneath the eyelids are all caused by fat in three little compartments that can be teased out through a transconjunctival approach if they are causing a noticeable cosmetic bulge.

Answer: The correction may ultimately take time 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. Dr. Miller
