6 months post op, will prominent protruding lines under eyes need additional surgery? (photos)

Passionate334559
I had lower eyelid fat repositioning in South Korea over six months ago. Everything recovered smoothly however when I am laughing or smiling hard now, there are these line protrusions under my eyes. The doctor assured me this was part of the healing when they were very prominent two months in but they remain there. I am very sad because it is counter to the goals of the procedure, is this something that would require additional surgery? Also can anyone tell me what this is?
