I had some fat removed under my eyes about 10 yrs ago because I felt like they were puffy. It looked fine at the time but now I don't have enough. I want the line between my upper cheek bone and eye socket softened. Is there a risk that my eyes could look smaller, or the shape would change? What is the best filler? Thanks. :)
Answer: Fillers for under eyes Fillers are a safe and effective solution to fill in that hollowness without compromising or changing the shape of your eyes. The best filler in my experience for under the eyes and tear troughs is Restylane. It lasts a good 6-12 months in that area and looks very soft and natural since it is composed of hyaluronic acid.

Answer: Correction of fat loss under eyes after blepharoplasty My favorite means of correcting your problem is the use of Voluma below the orbital rim to improve the softness and hollowness of your lower lids. Other surgeons like the Belotero or Juvéderm for this. See a very experienced injector for this. This is a very unforgiving area.

Answer: Correcting Fat Loss Under The Eyes Hello and thanks for your question. It is very difficult to see from your picture, but most people who are in a similar situation as yours get good results using fillers. My fillers of preference in this area are Belotero and Juvederm. You should get an in-person evaluation to see which filler would be best for you.

Answer: I have fat loss under eyes. What is the best way to correct it? Either nano fat grafting or HA filler like Belotero-Balance. But you need ONLY in person opinions at this point....

Answer: Fat Grafting for under eye area Fat grafting is the only way to correct the hollowness and dark circles that result from excessive removal of lower lid fat during a lower blepharoplasty procedure. From the posted photographs it appears that you most likely had a transconjunctival lower blepharoplasty performed, which is removal of lower lid fat through an incision on the inside of the lower lid (no external skin incision). Fat is missing, and to restore a more youthful appearance it has to be replaced. Subcutaneous fat is what provides facial skin with a sense of fullness and vitality, and it helps to impart a youthful color and ‘glow’. Where fat is missing, skin looks darker, less robust and less youthful. Fat also serves as an important part of lower lid support, especially over time as a person ages. Fat grafting of the lower lid area requires experience and meticulous technique. As the area is covered by a very thin layer of skin and muscle, overcorrection must be absolutely avoided. My approach is to graft fat to the point that the area looks aesthetically ideal, then stop and wait 3 months to assess fat survival. As fat survival is variable, additional fat grafting procedures may be performed based on the results of the first. In most cases of post-surgical lower lid hollowness, two to three fat grafting procedures are required to restore adequate subcutaneous fullness in this area.
