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: #EyelidFatNonSurgicalTreatment Hot compresses will not help and temporarily may cause edema making your appearance even worse for a few hours. Although blepharoplasty surgery is the only treatment that is long lasting there are a few things you can do that are of temporary help. Make sure you have an exam to make sure that you do not have weak eye muscles, ptosis, as your cause by an exam by a board certified specialist. Lower lids: Ceramide creams for the lower lids which in minutes as they dry the clear membrane tightens the lower lid skin minimizing bags and wrinkles. This lasts from 4-8 hrs and can be reapplied as needed. Radiofrequency, laser and peels tighten the skin with minimal downtime. Fillers for fat transfer #lipoinjection, to the lower lid to fill in the cheek-lid depression that casts shadows also helps many.For the upper lids, Botox in the crows feet area just below the brow will gently lift the lateral brow and lift a bit of the hooding on the side of your eye. This lasts about 3-4 months. Make sure you go to an expert injector associated with a Plastic Surgeon, Facial Plastic Surgeon, Dermatologist, or Ophthalmologist skilled in injections. #EyelidFatFix#NonSurgicalEyelidFatFix

Answer: No Effect on Fat The amount of fat around your eyes will not decrease by applying hot compresses. The only thing that this may help is to reduce any swelling (caused by trapped fluids) that could exist in the area.

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.
