If Too Much Fat Was Removed During a Blepharoplasty, Will It Get Better over Time or Worse? I'm Two Years Post Op.

Yes, if you have hollowness from someone taking out too much fat, then you may be a good candidate for filler treatment or fat grafting to replace the missing volume.

 

Good Luck.

There are two primary reasons that hollowness occurs after blepharoplasty.  First, existing hollowness is unmasked when excess skin is removed.  Second, fat is removed from the upper eyelids.

Modern techniques can indeed achieve volume replacement or redistribution.

Since your surgery was over two years ago, it is likely that you are observing the final result.  If the eyes appear too hollow, it is often possible to replace the missing fat with grafts of various types.  We prefer autologous fat-fascial grafts for this purpose.

There was an era when fat was aggressively resected.  This era is also noted for aggressive removal of under eye skin and a change in shape of the lower eyelid.  Often it is advisable to address this problem at the same time.  If the problem is not severe, improvement can usually be expected with a cheek lift procedure.
