Can a Fat Transfer correct volume loss around eyes? (photos)

January 7, 2014
Asked By:Lilah31 in Halifax, NC

I've lost a great deal of volume around my eyes and through my cheeks. I've always had deep set and hallow eyes with cheeks that were quite chunky.. I was wondering if a fat transfer could restore this? I have tired Restylane and always get eye infections and it swells even now 6 months later so I'm not ever putting that back in my eyes.
