Can Fat Near the Inner Eye Area Be Removed?

May 16, 2010
Asked By:6329anon in Rochester, NY

It seems like fat has "dropped" suddenly in my inner eye area. The area ends up looking puffy. In other posts, people talk about eyelid lift, but I don't know that this is the same thing. My problem is really not part of the eye lid, but rather area closest to the nose
