Can eyelid be lifted with fat grafting after lower bleph?

Question

I had a transconjuctival lower bleph 9 months ago where way too much fat was removed. My face now looks much older and my eyes are oddly big and round with a bit of sclera show. I read online that eyelid retraction happens mainly due to removing too much skin but this wasn't done for me. if i push the little remaining fat below my eyes upwards my eyes look like before. So I am wondering whether there is any chance to restore my old eye shape by grafting far? Thanks!!

Very possible but we would need an “in person” examination for a more definitive answer.

It would be best to go to a board certified plastic surgeon with a good eye for the best outcome.

Best of luck !

Hi, restoring some eye shape and lower lid volume may be possible through fat grafting. Fat grafting has been shown to be an effective and safe technique for treating lower eye bags and tear trough deformity. Additionally, integrating fat grafting techniques with blepharoplasty can address volume loss and tissue descent while preserving facial characteristics.
I recommend consulting with a qualified plastic surgeon who specializes in eyelid surgery and fat grafting. They can assess your specific case and provide personalized advice on the best course of action to help restore some shape and volume.

The lower eyelid, fat pads are deep to the Peri orbital septum, and a part of the fat that protects the eye in the skeletal eyesocket. 
I don’t think anybody grafts fat deep to the Peri orbital septum.
Grafting fat in this area will be more superficial and have a different outcome, then restoring your appearance to pre-surgery
Sometimes a mid facelift can create excellent volume restoration of the mid-face lower eyelid junction. 
Is the complex area to both properly understand and to treat.
Grafting fat to restore your previous appearance before trans conjunctival blepharoplasty is a bit simplistic. 
Without seeing a complete set of before and after pictures, we can’t really make an assessment or give you quality recommendations.
Best,
