I went in for a consultation for lower eye surgery and informed the surgeon I had a previous consult in which the surgeon told me I would not be happy with my results- I would also need fat graphing. The surgeon told me he has performed 1000's of lower eyelid surgeries and I would be fine. It has been 8 months and there is no difference.
