Why do some doctors recommend and perform fat repositioning vs. fat transfer vs. fillers for the same pair of eyes? (I am getting different recommendations for my lower eyelid surgery, making it very confusing and hard to decide and choose a doctor). Does this have to do with what each doctor is good at? And what are the pros and cons for each of these approaches for filling in the area between the tear trough and malar? And which is best for avoiding hollow eyes and ectropion?
