In order to reduce the appearence of a fat lump after fat graft, could injecting the surrounding area with fat a possible fix? 16 days ago i had fat graf to the under eyes, now I have a visible lump under my right eye and it looks puffy under it as well. I am very frustrated since everybody says there is NO easy fix for my issue. What bothers me the most is the care free attitude my doctor is demostrating and the lack of honesty on the the possible outcomes.
