Hello! I got fat transfer to my cheeks and under eyes exactly a month ago today and my cheeks of healed well but after the swelling have one down I'm starting to see a very baggy and overfilled under eye. I attached a picture of how it looked when I was all swollen up. I am now aware that is not recommended to do fat under the eyes so I'm hoping for solutions, is it possible to fill the rest of my cheek up to conceal the bags? I would like a more fuller look anyways.

Answer: Fat transfer to lower lids. Fat is frequently placed into the lower lids, usually with excellent results. It may initially stay more swollen in the lids than in the cheeks, so this may still go down more. On occasion some people will get some persistent swelling and even some firmness in the fat. We treat this with injections of anti-inflammatories. And in the rare person that a fatty nodule persists, it can be removed surgically.

Answer: What is the solution for overfilled under eyes? (Photos) Hi , thanks for the pictures and such a good question. You are right fat transfer under the eyes is not recommended, because is not and adequate space for fat integration, there is no good vascularity, a lot of ligaments and less muscles, so is not a well irirgated zone. Your correction will consist in the extirpation of the fat transfered. What is best for corrrection of hollow eyes is to harvest a strip of fat from any other part of the body and put it in the space needed.
