Tear trough fat transfer can improve the appearance of under-eye bags and puffiness to some extent. Using a fat graft under eyes can address hollows and create a smoother transition between the lower eyelid and cheek. However, it's essential to manage expectations of fat injections under eyes, especially in cases of severe under-eye bags or puffiness.
Herniated fat or significant tissue laxity can cause more severe cases. In this case, fat grafting under eyes alone may not fully address the issue. In such cases, alternative procedures like lower blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) might be more suitable to directly address excess fat or skin.
Under eye fat grafting can be effective for restoring volume and reducing the appearance of hollows, but for severe under-eye bags or significant puffiness, a comprehensive evaluation by Dr Doyle is necessary to determine the most appropriate and effective treatment plan.
