Are external sutures necessary in a lower blepharoplasty with fat repositioning (i.e. are there sutures which are visible in the lower eyelid after the surgery)?
Answer: Fat repositioning if you have fat repositioning, which I think is a lousy procedure, you will at least have skin sutures which need removal. But don’t get fat repositioning. The results are hit or miss and you will likely need to go back eventually to have the fat removed, which really should have been done the first time.

Answer: Lower Blepharoplasty It all depends on the surgeon, his/her preference and the techniques used. The lower eyelid fat can be repositioned and secured by placing internal or external sutures at the eyelid-cheek junction. As always personal consultation with an experienced surgeon is crucial.

Answer: Lower Blepharoplasty with Fat Reposition, without skin cuts Not exactly. Typically, there is a knot only that holds the transposed fat to the skin temporarily without actually cuts. See following surgical video (graphic) and website link.

Answer: If you are having a transconjunctival lower eyelid arcus marginalis release surgery, then the answer is YES. To reposition fat into the top of the cheek and provide help for the top of the cheek, it is necessary to advance fat from the lower eyelid into the top of the cheek. To keep the fat there, full thickness stitches are used. The stitches can be removed after about 5 days. The sutures are visible but come out early. You are still pretty beat up at this point and most people are not doing anything social at this point after surgery.
