Why are some surgeons still against fat-pad repositioning as part of lower blepharoplasty?

Asked By:suswang123 in New York, New York

A Board-certified, Ivy League-educated oculoplastic surgeon advised that he does not do fat pad repositioning for any patients. Period. He excises the fat pads, and if residual deficits remain, the patient can receive hyaluronic acid fillers. Can I please ask why, in 2024, a surgeon would be against repositioning? Is there still a body of evidence to suggest that it has a high complication rate?
