What’s that space called btwn the upper eyelid and below the eyebrow? What surgery could get excess fat removed for there?

I’ve been tasking my brain trying to figure out which surgery I should be looking into! I’ve looked into blepharoplasty, eyelid lift, and brow lift, but none of them quite seem to address that fat pad that rests right above my upper eyelid and below my brow. The surgeries I’ve seen are for people with looser skin around the eyelid well in their 40s to 60s but none with extra fat. Does anyone know the specific name of what I should be looking into? (FYI, I’m 24 and of African decent)
