Will a skin pinch and fat grafting fix uneven lower blepharoplasty (eyebags)? (photos)

Question

I had a lower blepharoplasty 3 years ago and not happy with the results and would like to do a revision. Left eyebag area has a deep tear trough and right eyebag area is puffy & with saggy skin (botched fat grafting) and so looks like I still have an eyebag there. What would you recommend in fixing this? Will skin pinching & fat grafting do the job?

Bilgen Katipoglu Erenoglu, MD · Answer

There is a strong fibrous tissue between our lower orbital bone and lower eyelid skin. This is called the orbitomalar ligament. This is the main reason of the tear trough deformity with laxed connective tissue that holds the fat tissue. This is why the fillers can not permenantly address this problem.
Here the main solution is to revise the lower eyelid surgery with releasing this orbitomalar ligament. Skin excision must be done very carefully in lower eyelid and can be decided on face to face consultation.
I hope I could answer your question.
