Drooping After Fat Grafting on Hollow Upper Eyelid

January 14, 2009
Asked By:karkinos in Cyprus

I had fat grafting for hollow upper eyelid area in one eye, in July 2008. I know that some droopiness is expected following such procedure, but can it be more pronounced in one side of the eye (inner in my case), where more fat was grafted due to the nature of my problem? Should I give it more time before evaluating for final result? Thank you in advance.
