If the small fat pockets at the corners of my eyes are removed, will the under eye area looks smoother and better? (photo)

I'm a 64 year old who woman had blepharoplasty surgery four months ago. The doctor removed excessive skin under the eyes as well from the upper lids. The small fat pockets at the corners of the eyes now appear more prominent since the surgery. I'm guessing that fillers would help but I am not sure that I want to have to get this done every six months. Will this fat dissolve as I age? I'd appreciate all suggestions. Thanks!
