hi lm thinking of getting fat injections under my eyes. is it dangerous ? what is the risk
Answer: Sunken under eye treatment that's a great question , there are different options for treatment of the under eye area, you can either get a synthetic filler ( comes pre filled in a syringe ) or you can do fat transfer, fat first has to be harvested from your body and then injected with a tiny blunt cannula. There are pros and cons to both . With fat transfer - procedure takes longer , fat has to be overfilled (so more swelling) and there is more downtime but ofcourse the results also last longer. Good luck !

Answer: Fat Transfer Under Eye Fat injections have similar risks to fillers. Infection, bruising, skin necrosis, and arterial obstruction. The last two are exceedingly rare. The best thing you can do is see an injector that does many and is comfortable with the periocular area.

Answer: Fat transfer results for tear troughs--water-assisted harvesting, prp Yes, fat transfer can be used for under the eyes. Keep in mind, fat transfer technique is what's most important for successful fat transfer. I recommend water-assisted fat harvesting which gives pure fat to transfer and combine with platelet rich plasma (PRP) to get the most viable and sustainable fat cells. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Fat Transfer Under Eyes Diana. Fillers or fat is a nice option for the sunken areas below the eyes called tear troughs. Minor issues of fat transfer include over correction, Asymmetry or small lumps caused by fat lobules. A rare but serious complication is blindness caused by inadvertent injection into a blood vessel creating blockage of the retinal artery causing blindness. For that reason I only inject the face with small, blunt cannulas, which decreases the chances of entering a blood vessel.
