I regret my lower blepharoplasty - how can I reverse the damage? (Photos)

I had a consult with a plastic surgeon for fat transfer to my undereye. The only sign of aging i had was some fat loss right above the orbital rim in the outer corners due to using latisse. He said if he did not do a blepharoplasty to remove fat from my under eye first, the fat transfer would look "awkward". I really wanted the fat transfer so i agreed to have both procedures. I had a transconjunctival lower blepharoplasty with fat removal, fat transfer, dissolving of filler, and co2 laser 6 months ago. Now 6 months post op i regret those procedures. The fat removal aged my under eye 20 years. I have these deep creases i have never had before. I really darkened my eye area a hurt the skin quality. It looks like i am always squinting because you can see the under eye muscles. My under eye area still hurts every day. None of the fat transfer went to my undereyes but rather my cheeks. My overfilled cheeks contrast with my hollow, sunken under eye. One part of the fat transfer looks like a malar bag. How can i reverse the damage and fill my undereye to how it was before the surgery? I only have one area of fat and it bulges towards the inner corner of my right eye. Filler did not work to correct my problem. My left lower eyelid feels extremely lax and painful. My under eyes aree just skin and muscle now except one bulge of fat in my right eye. I want to look like myself before the surgery.
