Nano fat graft for dark circles caused by thin, translucent under eye skin?

Question

I have dark circles caused by thin, translucent under eye skin. I don’t have any hollowness or pigmentation but the muscle underneath the skin peeks out through my skin’s translucency. I was told by a board-certified plastic surgeon that a nano fat graft could help thicken the dermis, creating a barrier between my skin and the muscle underneath. Is this possible?

One of the procedures causing more problems and undesirable outcomes than any other as fat grafting around the eyes. fat grafting of the face is inherently unpredictable, imprecise and unforgiving.
If your provider claims to be able to deliver quality results with the proposed procedure then they should have a collection of before and after pictures that shows that they can walk the walk and not just talk the talk.
Asked to provide her to show their entire collection of before and after pictures of Peri-ocular fat transfer procedures. Make sure after pictures were taken at least three months from the date of surgery since early results can look very impressive but do not at all represent final results.
An experienced provider should be able to show you at least 30 sets of quality before and after pictures. ask the provider to show examples of results that didn’t turn out as well as day and hoped for, average results and less than average results. I guarantee you everybody has them.
As difficult of a problem that this is fat grafting is probably not the treatment of choice and can without question lead to unforeseen problems you were not expecting. This includes undesirable contour changes, fat necrosis, lumpy contour irregularities etc. etc.
Personally I would not do or recommend that procedure but that is not to say there aren’t providers who can deliver good results consistently.
Before signing up for this procedure you just wanna make sure that your provider can.
Best,
