Fat transfer in the tear trough?

Nice6796Nov 28, 2023
I've had Fat transferred in the tear thru area,under my Eyes around 3 years ago. everything looks normal and fine, however i palpate under my left eye, closer to the cheek Area,like a bump, but it is rather hard, feels like Little piece of bone.it doesn't show on the outside, just could palpate with the finger. Do i need to get an mri or CTscan?rather concerned. my dr isn't of any help, as he is "not a radiologist" or trying to escape liability?pic wont help as nothing shows.

In very selective cases fat grafting of the upper eyelids may be a good option. However, that requires a true expert otherwise you may end with bad result. Start searching for such a surgeon and be very thorough in your research. Good luck.

Fat grafting would work well to correct the depressions on your cheeks . The fat needs to be injected directly into the skin which requires micronizataion It may also take 2-3 treatments

You could benefit from facial fat transfer or filler (like Renuva who promotes fat growth very effectively). Best of luck !
