Is it safe to have fat transfer under the eyes?

Fat transfer is frequently performed under the eyes and, when done safely and by an experienced plastic surgeon, it can achieve beautiful results. The microfat injection technique is preferred here to minimize the risk of lumpiness. However, you may also want to consider injectable fillers, such as Teosyal Redensity II.

Thank you for a great question and for sharing your concerns. Fat transfer can be done to address hollowing under the eye.  Fat transfer can be technique dependent, and while lumps are possible they are uncommon in experienced hands.  I hope you find this helpful.

I do this everyday in my practice with great results. you need a formal consultation to determine if it is good for you and I suggest combining with PRP.  Best, Dr. Emer.

I routinely place fat in the   tear trough regeon when performing facial fat transfer.  Yes, sometimes a second procedure is needed but often patients are satisfied with one.  Also, the fat that does take may be permenant which my patients love.  Good luchk!

YES IT IS VERY SAFE TO DO FAT UNDER THE EYES BUT IT HAS TO BE DONE VERY CAREFULLY SO THAT THERE ARE NO LUMPS AND IT IS NICE AND SMOOTH. YOU SHOULD SIT DOWN AND HAVE A CONSULTATION WITH THE PLASTIC SURGEON AND SEE WHAT THEY SAY.
