Will Hot Compresses Breakdown Fatty Tissue Under Eyelids?

October 10, 2011
Asked By:jeaniez

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.
