Under Eye Fat Transfer

Hello doctor:
I am scheduled for a mini facelift as well as fat transfers for undereye hollows and wrinkles. My surgeon feels that the result with fat is superior to other fillers as well as giving a longer lasting result. Have you seen good results with fat as a filler when used under the eye area. He will also be injecting around the orbit as I do have a bit of atrophy there as well. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated ! Thank you.


hi,
if you are going to be doing a mini facelift anyways, fat transfer sounds like a good idea, especially since it sounds like you have volume loss that is more than just the typical tear trough. i have seen excellent results with fat transfer, so as long as your surgeon is experienced (specifically at fat transfer) and conservative (you can always touch it up with juvederm or restylane), it sounds like you should be fine.
hope that helps
