Bad fat graft result under eyes - what can be done? (Photo)

Raven McCoyFeb 19, 2019
Dear RS doctors, after a lot of deliberation I opted for an under-eye nanograft 2 years ago, and the results were not good. I have several lumps, both in motion and when static, under both my eyes (especially the right, which looks like a regular, permanent undereye bag). Can anything be done to correct it? What are the side effects/dangers of having it removed, if it's even possible? This has been the worst decision ever. :( Thank you!

If you give your fillers or fat enough time to set up prior to using your CPAP mask, should be around 48 hours for dermal fillers and about 2 weeks for fat transfer, then the pressure from your CPAP mask on your face should be of no consequence to the final result.
