Can lower eyelid skin "tighten up" after lower blepharoplasty with fat repositioning?

Asked By:ljane21 in San Leandro, California

Can skin tighten up or retract after a lower blepharoplasty where fat repositioning was performed (no filler, no skin pinch)? Seems like skin can become more "loose" since the original fat pockets are either removed or repositioned elsewhere. Worried that even slightly saggier skin will ultimately make wrinkles easier to form under the eyes, even though the initial result looks good.
