I had horrible fat repositioning on one side that causes a huge bump/lump/bag. It's not scarring confirmed by 3 occuloplasts. It's very soft and feels like fat. It moves when I speak and lift my eyes up and all around. Is there a way to go back in transconjunctival and fix this? Either debulk, reposition, or fully remove? Has anyone done this before? The main concern is scar tissue but i don't know if possible to fully dettach from my cheek
Answer: Fat repositioned during lower blepharoplasty. Can it be revised? You need to wait at least a full year from your initial surgery but through a transcontival approach it should be possible to remove the excess fat. Some fat grafting g might be necessary. Repositioning fat has limited flexibility in terms of the position of the fat.

Answer: Need to come in to consult For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan. It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Fat Repositioning Hello, hope you are well. I wouldn't recommend doing anything until the area has healed completely and you are certain that any residual edema has resolved. Having said that, let's assume your primary lower blepharoplasty was performed long ago. If it's malpositioned or excessive fat, I would be optimistic about a revision lower blepharoplasty to debulk it. However, rather than a transconjunctival approach, a more direct subciliary approach should be considered. The disadvantage is the skin incision, but the surgical access and visualization is superior for refinement like this.
