I am 4 months post lower bleph with fat reposition. I am not happy with my results. I've tried a light chemical peel (which gave me very dark circles) and Botox under my eyes (extreme swelling and puff eyes occurred) and a laser under my lash line (I think helped a bit) my dr wants to do more laser next week, But I am confused at this point. I would really appreciate some options and good advise. Thanks

Answer: Bleph results - taking it to the next level! Four months is a reasonable time to have waited after blepharoplasty to see the final results. Though things may still change a little bit, usually one would not expect a lot of improvement after 4 months. If the under eye area seems hollow, injectible fillers are quite effective and last quite a long time (in some cases put o two years). In our New Jersey plastic surgery practice, we favor Voluma for the cheek area, which its he latest FDA approved HA-based filler. It is effective and has a good safety track record.

Answer: Post-op lower eyelid blepharoplasty You still have some volume deficiency in the lower eyelids. This can occur when there is not a lot of fat to reposition. You should try some HA filler here - restylane or belotero to give it a little more volume and smooth out the contour.

Answer: You appear to have mild under eye hollowing after your lower blepharoplasty and fat repositioning. Your narrative does nor explain your dissatisfaction. You appear to have lower eyelid grooves between your lower lid fat and cheeks. In our practice we prefer to fill these grooves with Silikon-1000, an off-label filler for permanent results. This would only make sense if your lower eye lid grooves are your source of concern. Hope this helps you.Dr. Joseph
