Hard lump in undereye area after transconjunctival fat repositioning & fat graft?

June 22, 2018
Asked By:edealee in Toronto, ON

Hello doctors, immediately after my transconjunctival fat repositioning & fat graft under my eyes, I could feel a very large hard lump under my right eye, and a smaller one under my left. My doctor said it was scar tissue and would soften over time. A year later, the lumps are still there and have really not decreased in size at all. Does it sound like scar tissue? What can I do to improve it?
