Answer: Your lower eyelid bulge could be orbital fat. During lower eyelid surgery, sometimes a complete removal of pseudo herniated fat pads is not performed and this can lead to a persistent bulge. Other possibility may be persistent injectable fillers in your under eye, if that was performed before surgery. I hope this helps. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Answer: Fullness under eye following blepharoplasty The short answer is that you had a lower eyelid blepharoplasty and there is some residual lateral fat pad herniation. A transconjunctival approach would likely all that would be necessary to address this area.

Answer: Fat bulge Based on this photo and short of in person evaluation, my first thought is a fat compartment/bag. In person consultation with a board certified plastic or oculoplastic surgeon would help. Good luck.

Answer: It could be either or something else. The point is that it is impossible to know without an in person examination. Often with these procedures, one sees irregularly healed lumps of fat. They do not always heal smoothly. An examination by an experienced surgeon who regularly fixes botched blepharoplasty permits an educated guess about the likely cause of this. That will determine what strategy is most appropriate for this. Generally fixing these is done through a transconjunctival approach. You need to find the right surgeon for this. That is not necessarily the original surgeon. This is no muscle bulge.
