Fat Transfer in Temples for Lifting Upper Eyelids?

mmuofminn
My main issues are tear trough hollowness, moderate upper eyelid hooding, moderate jowling, and lower cheek hollowness (I have very high cheekbones). I have lost a lot of volume in my temples and at the same time have developed some upper eyelid hooding. I got to thinking that increasing volume in temple area through fat transfer might actually work somewhat as a lateral browlift, thereby raising upper eyelids a little. What do the doctors here think about this theory? Could this concept also work on the jowls, with fat transfer to the cheeks for raising the jowls a little?
