Is my lower eyelid / cheekbone puffiness to difficult to get rid of with lower eyelid Blepharoplasty? (photos)

January 19, 2014

I have puffy lower eye lids/ puffiness around cheekbones. The bags look like there's fluid or fat that hangs over and stops at the cheek bone. I would love to have a smooth non-puffy look around the cheekbone area. I would like to get lower lid blepharoplasty, is my case too difficult to treat since the puffiness falls in and around my cheekbone area. What should I do? I am prone to scarring, would my lower eyelids keloid or scar badly?
