Implants or Blepharoplasty for Tear Troughs? (photo)

August 11, 2012
Asked By:Cherylc4733

29/F looking for a permanent solution for my under eyes. I have an indentation & thin skin making the area appear dark. I had a consultation with a plastic surgeon and he gave me three options: 1. Temporary filler 2. eyelid surgery with fat grafting 3. custom tear trough implant. I am leaning toward the implant because I've been told the body eventually absorbs the fat because there is no blood supply. I'd appreciate a second opinion on what the right course of action would be. Thanks!
