Thin skin with visible veins under the eyes at 68 is a skin-quality problem as much as a volume problem. Fat transfer, including finely processed nanofat, can add a thin cushion and may improve color and texture somewhat, but results vary and part of the fat may not persist. It does not tighten...

The pockets you describe are most often the lower lid fat pads pushing forward as the thin membrane holding them back weakens, rather than fat that has fallen.

Fat transfer to the tear trough and nasolabial area can help when the problem is true volume loss. It is the wrong tool when the groove is mainly ligamentous shadow, skin laxity, or eyelid fat herniation that needs blepharoplasty logic instead. Under-eye fat is unforgiving: small irregularities...
