I have fat grafting under my eyes on July 20th. I'm 4months post op. After one month one of my eyes went down and looked regular however the other eye left a bag. After a few months I had 3 series of steroid injections to deflate it however still left with a bag. They took a diff approach and injected it with a hydraulic acid filler and OMG my eye looks worse. 1 day post op from the filler and It's even more puffy and I'm so sad because I'm only 21. This is horrible what should I do?
Answer: Post fat injection lower lids The lower lids are a tough place for fat injections. They can work out great, but every once in a while you can get a nodule. Steroid injections may help. It sounds like they wanted to smooth out the area with HA so you wouldn't see the fat nodule. This may work. You are quite swollen at one day post injection. You need to let the swelling resolve to see how it will look. If not what you hoped for, will need to go in surgically and take out the fat.

Answer: Fat lump in eyelid after fat injection? I have used fat grafting for over 35 years. I injected in lips and hands and find it very good in those two locations. I do not eject it into the Area around the Eye because often it leaves a lump such as what you have. In my experience these require surgery to remove and cannot be dissolved with steroids which often make it worse. See a very experienced surgeon for fat removal.
