Hello. I have hollowing under my eyes, and I would like to know if tightening the under eye lids will help improve the look? I’m a 58 year old white woman with fair skin. I’m not interested in surgery and like to age gracefully.

What are the risks associated with a second lower blepharoplasty to remove left over lateral fat?

Often the lateral fat pad can be inadequately reduced or additional fat can herniate forward. As with any lower lid surgery, the main risks would be excessive fat removal (hollowness) and lower lid retraction (very rare when done with a transconjunctival approach).
