Will fat transfer lumps lower eyelids be too hard to get out?

unrecognizableJan 15, 2022
I had a BAD fat transfer resulting in lumps. And an aggressive LL bleph (don’t know why dr did this when I wanted a wrinkle gone, when I recovered dr did “extra” ) Looks like ants in a line under lower eyelids. I needed retraction surgery but dr didn’t remove lumps. It is now 5 yrs and lumps are still there and noticeable. Will they be too hard to get out being it’s been so long? Changed my looks. It’s still shocking when I see myself. Tyvm

I would be surprised if your doctor did not tell you you were still swollen. Nothing looks abnormal to me. Patient's, low-salt, sleep with the head elevated, and you will probably look very good in a few weeks.

Hi, firstly I would like to say I am sorry to hear about your previous experience! I must stress that the hyperpigmentation under your eyes would be difficult to treat and sometimes surgery is not the best solution. For the bump under your eye, careful blepharoplasty may improve the result....
