Can I reposition under eye fat if I don't have eye-bags, only hollowness? (photo)

Question

I want to reposition my under eye fat, to help fill in the sunken appearance of the tear trough. I only have puffiness when I smile, but not when my face is at rest. Is this surgery good for people without eye bags, and just needing to fill tear troughs? (I don't want filler)

Hello, Based on the photo you posted, under-eye fat reposition would not be the best option for you. It looks like you do not have much of fat under the eyes and it rather looks hollow and sunken. The surgery is more for those who have bulging fat under the eyes. I believe facial fat grafting would be more suitable for you. basically, it uses your own fat from abdomen or thigh to provide more volume on the face. For more accurate plans, you should have in-person consultation with a surgeon.
