Fat Transfer Before & After Case 117

Dark circles and eye bags are cosmetic concerns for many Washington DC area plastic surgery patients. Eyelid surgery, fat injections, and/or facial filler injections are options to help reduce the eye bags and improve one's appearance. Lower eyelid bags and dark circles may even be present in young patients.

This younger man wanted to improve his lower eyelid area and had already consulted with another DC plastic surgeon before consulting with Washington DC facial plastic surgeon Dr. Chaboki to review cosmetic treatment options. Examination revealed excess fat around the eye, but also insufficient fat volume of the upper cheek and midfacial area. A part of his dark circles was due to the shadow created by the excess volume of the eye above and the insufficient volume of the cheek below.

He underwent lower eyelid surgery to reduce excess fat via incisions hidden in the pink of the eye, thus avoiding external scar. In addition, he received facial fat injections with a specialized micrografting technique by Dr. Chaboki. His lower eyelid bags are now improved. As a facial cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Chaboki performs these and other advanced cosmetic combination treatments to help achieve desired aesthetic results for his DC area patients in a safe, conservative manner.
