Fat may be injected into some depression area such as grooves between the eye brows, tear trough or deeper furrows between upper cheek and eyelids. Fat injection has one limitation that is its unpredictable rate of disappearance generally with the liposuctioned aspirates. The fat reabsorption rate is high in some area such as between the eye brows (glabellar area) and around the mouth. Lower eyelid and cheek have the highest retainment. Depression area treated for fat transfer during blepharoplasty may stay swollen or bruised for few weeks. This procedure is aesthetically acceptable, always performed by experienced blepharoplasty surgeons. The results may be unpredictable if the surgery is performed by inexperienced surgeon. Fat injection in lower eyelid skin is quite difficult as compare to the tear trough. Because incisions are required in both side of eyelids. Fat injection during blepharoplasty is an interesting procedure for natural volume restoration. Patients can be very happy after its results around the eyelid skin.
Some patients are interested in the eyelid fat repositioning by the priorbital fat transfer during blepharoplasty. This can be performed when there is some bulging fat in the lower eyelid located just next to hollow.
