Can eyelid be lifted with fat grafting after lower bleph?

J
journey89Oct 2, 2023

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!!

Scar revision is certainly an option that could also remove any excess skin. Blepharoplasty surgery will not address any brow issues. Neurotoxin or browlifting procedures would be good options but an in person consultation is needed.

Based on your photos, you are a great candidate for lower lid surgery to reduce the protruding fat. At the same time, some fat should be harvested and placed in the tear trough under the fat bag. This would create a long lasting smoothness that would look great. Be sure to see a facial plastics...

The “bump” is excess fat that was either left behind or not transposed deep enough into the cheek. In my hands, the only way to treat this is revision surgery where additional fat is removed and/or repositioned.

You are a great candidate for upper eyelid blepharoplasty to remove excess skin. This will make your eyes appear more open. The lower lids are tricky because you have filler in them. I typically dissolve all filler prior to any lower lid surgery. Best to see an eyelid expert.

My recommendation would be lower lid blepharoplasty with fat repositioning. This would involve an incision on the back of the lid (transconjunctival) and taking your natural fat and using it to fill your tear trough. This would remove the “bag” under the eye but also volumize your tear tro...
