Transconjunctival Blepharoplasty and Fat Grafting for Hollow Eye Area?

pepys
I am a 50 year old Asian. Have consulted a plastic surgery regarding removal of eye bag. He recommends me to do a transconjunctival eyelid surgery (incision inside) because there is not much excess skin to remove. In addition, he suggested a fat transfer to correct hollow sunken eye area after removing the eye bag.Is internal incision eye bag surgery a better option compared with external incision and is recovery is much faster? Does it also make sense to transfer fat immediately after the surgery to correct hollow and sunken eye?Your input is appreciated.
