Can fat move forward in years to come?
Answer: Hollow Upper Eyelids after Blepharoplasty Unfortunately, it is unlikely that fat (from further back in the eye) will move forward over time. In fact, you should expect more fat loss and hollowness with increasing age. Too often, surgeons remove all the fat around the eye in an attempt to achieve a more "dramatic" result. This can leave the patient looking "skeletonized" and sunken. This problem can be treated with fat injections using donor fat taken from your abdomen, hips or thighs. The fat is injected using a small blunt cannula and takes only a few minutes. Alternatively, you can use one of the popular HA fillers. Find a surgeon with experience with fat injections and the treatment of hollow eyelids.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Hollowness After Blepharoplasty The key element here is prevention. Modern blepharoplasty does not remove significant, if at all, fat from the upper and lower bleph. Blepharoplasty surgery allows for reposition or reshaping. In patients that have too much fat removal, one can restore it with the use of fillers or use of fat restoration. This should be done in the hands of a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon with expertise in Oculoplastic surgery.

Answer: Hollow upper lids Over-exision of upper lid fat can leave you with a hollowed appearance that can be problematic. Unfortunately it is very unlikely that time alone will fix this. Fillers or fat injection can improve this situation, and so I would recommend a visit with another Board Certified Plastic Surgeon to get an assessment and plan.Best wishes, Dr. L

Answer: Filling the upper eyelids after previous blepharoplasty The answer is "highly unlikely". In fact, more fat loss is expected from the upper eyelid area as one ages. The good news is that we can fill the area with either own fat (taken from the belly or thighs) or synthetic fillers (which are very safe). See an oculoplastic surgeon.

Answer: Upper lid Blepharoplasty with too much fat removed. Upper lid Blepharoplasty with too much fat removed. No, the fat will not move forward. With scarring it is difficult to get the right amount of fat or filler just right.
