Is lower eyelid correction possible with dry eye syndrome?

I had the procedure 30 years ago [not very successful] and am now considering it again as my eyes look puffy due to fat deposits under the lower eyelids. One plastic surgeon told me dry eye syndrome is counterindicated as it is easy to damage the tear duct. Another, this time an oculoplastic surgeon told me that on the contrary, it is possible. I am now unsure whom to believe... I would be grateful for your professional advice. Thank you.
