4 months ago I had upper/lower bleph, fat transfer (FAMI technique), and CO2 laser resurfacing under eyes. I still have 1 big bag under my right eye. My doc wants to do another laser treatment to tighten area. Is this safe to do after fat transfer? Mark Glasgold, a fat transfer expert, recommended against this on another post, stating "There is no question that you may negatively impact the result of the fat graft with resurfacing," but other doctors disagree. Seeking other opinions.

Everyone uses a different combination of pain control in patients undergoing laser resurfacing. We combine pain killers and sedative medications, as well as topical numbing and nerve blocks. Our patients do not like to feel pain at all! Most of all, it is best that you feel...
At 8 months post laser, your skin is fully healed, and you can use artificial tanning agent. I would still suggest remaining out of the harmful UV rays of natural sunlight, and also suggest sunblock when you cannot avoid it. Good Luck
Using an over the counter anti histimine like Claritin or Zyrtec durning the day or Benedryl at night in addtion to the ice and hydrocortisone is helpful to treat itching in most patients
