Which Would Be Better in my Under-eye Hollow Situation: Orbital Rim Implants or a Fat Transfer? (photo)

July 4, 2013
Asked By:LJelly

I've suffered for 20 years from this. I can hardly look at anyone in the eye. Before you suggest I'm too young to have a permanent procedure done, look at my photos. A change is needed for my mental well-being. 2 months ago I had Radiesse injected and while I like the result, I need more volume (I used 2 syringes) and can't afford the temporary result. My surgeon suggested fat transfer but I'm put off that only 50% will stick & I may need to have another. Am I a candidate for orbital implants?
