Why did my surgeon remove so much fat during lower blepharoplasty? (Photo)

Last year, I had developed herniated fat under my eyes + some volume loss. 6 months ago I had a lower blepharoplasty + fat transfer. My surgeon never explained to me risks of dark circles/hollowing. However, 6 months after the surgery with all the swelling gone, I now have permanent dark circles from hollowness. Why did my surgeon remove so much fat? If it was necessary, why didn't they transfer in more fat to compensate? Surgeon said it was in my head and couldn't see what I meant.
