Is It Possible to Put Back Fat After Lower Blepharoplasty?

If too much fat has been removed after lower lid blepharoplasty, fat grafting can restore the volume.  In the past, aggressive removal of fat was considered proper technique.  As perspective was gained on results, the removal of fat has become much more conservative and, in some cases, unnecessary.  Occasionally, miscalculation can occur and the patient may end up with a "hollowed out" look.  Replenishing fat deep to the orbital septum can help.

By using fat grafting techniques fat can be gently removed from another part of your body (e.g. abdomen, thighs, hips) and then injected into the hollowed out area under your eyes. Fat grafting in this area is very technique-dependent so you will want to have it done by someone who has extensive experience with this.

Yes, there are fat grafting techniques that can be performed. The fat needs to be put back into the proper anatomical position and into the orbital septum and not into the subcutaneous skin. If it is placed in the subcutaneous area it will look like a glob of fat in the wrong location.
