My Dr tells me I have excess fatty tissue under my eyelids. He said to use hot compresses to breakdown this fatty tissue. Everything I have read in my research says the only way to deal with this is surgery. He never mentioned surgery. I don't know what to do and could use some more information.

Answer: Don't do it It's unusual that your surgeon would suggest this, since it is not effective and could be very dangerous. Not only do you run the risk of serious burns, you probably won't do anything to help "break down" the fat there.To remove fatty deposits in this delicate area, surgery is your only option.

Answer: Hot compresses will not break down fatty tissue
I'm afraid it's time to find another doctor. Not only will this 'solution' not help, but could potentially be harmful! Your research has served you well, surgery correction is your only viable option. Good work! Dr. H
