Hollowness instead of eyebag after botched blepharoplasty. Is it possible to correct this? (Photo)

Eclectic320656May 13, 2022
My lower eyelids look different after transconjuctival lower blepharoplasty (with fat removal) because of hollowness under one eye that makes its lower eyelid look bulging. Is it possible to correct this? I've read about fillers but I've only seen them used in area under eyebags, when I need to fill medial part of former eyebag itself (I feel that it's almost edge of the bone under the orbit when I touch the there). Does it mean that it's not possible to correct? Please help.

Thank you for your question. There are a few things to consider in your situation. The first is that there is a variable absorption rate with fat transfer. So if you feel that your eyes appear sunken now due to too much fat, some of that volume will decline. Usually it takes about 6 - 12 months...
