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!
Answer: Fat Pockets in the Lower Eyelids If you had a lower eyelid blepharoplasty with removal of loose skin, but no treatment of the fat, then the fat pockets can certainly be more apparent afterwards. In general, it is reasonable to wait at least 6 months to allow any swelling to resolve before considering further treatment.Filler can definitely be used along the tear trough/orbital rim to help improve the hollowing and camouflage the fullness of the fat pads. This is a relatively straightforward procedure with little recovery time and lasting results. However, if the fullness persists, then a revision lower eyelid surgery may be done with repositioning of the fat pads in the inside and middle of the eyelid and conservative removal of the fat pad in the outside corners.

Answer: Blepharoplasty and fat It looks like you still have the lateral fat pad. This can be treated by a repeat procedure in many different ways. Fillers canhelp the tear trough region.
