What Are the Risks and Long Term Results of a Blepharoplasty with Fat Repositioning?

November 18, 2012
Asked By:eyy

I'm considering a transconjunctival bleph with fat repositioning (arcus marginalis release), but I've read that this is a risky procedure(has more potential complications) compared to a standard bleph where fat is taken out. And what are the long term results?As the fat is only repositioned and not removed isn't there the risk to form EYEBAGS again after a few years?Does the repositioned orbital fat on the surface of the cheek bone stay there forever or can it move back to its original position?
