I am trying to decide if lower blepharoplasty (fat repositioning) or tear trough rejuvenation with Restylane is best for my problem? I have fat prolapse on my right side resulting in a more puffy appearance above the tear trough and on the left have more extensive hollowing. I am just lost as to which gives best results. I am getting married in August & concerned with complications / recovery of the surgery but wonder if ultimately it is the better option? I have also been told that my mid face area seems to be attributing to the overall problem?

Answer: Combination of bleph and fillers From the photograph, you have a little fat in the lower eyelids bulging forward. You also have slight loss of your mid-face(cheeks). A lower blepharoplasty with fat transposition would shift your fat down towards the cheeks. In addition, a little extra volumizing with fillers in the mid-face would accentuate the overall look. See an oculoplastic surgeon who specializes in both procedures.

Answer: Fillers If you are concerned about surgery then I would recommend the fillers to address your tear troughs. This would fill them in and you can also add volume to other areas of your face that you'd like to have improved.

Answer: Eyelud surgery Those are great questions. First of all, don't even consider getting injectables in the lower lids and especially not fat injection. The tear trough that people talk about is sheer nonsense designed to get you to have injections done. What you need done is a standard lower lid bleoharoplasty to remove the excess fat that causes the puffiness. I am also familiar with this concept of fat repositioning. It is also a poorly conceived operation. Stick with what is tried and true.
