Fat Transfer Before & After Case 260

The eyes are one of the first areas patients want rejuvenated. Dark circles and under eye bags develop at a relatively early age. Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) is the method to modify eye skin and fat for a refreshed appearance.

This Washington DC eyelid surgery patient disliked the appearance of excess lower eyelid skin and fat. He consulted with facial plastic surgeon Dr. Chaboki to review cosmetic surgery options. Examination revealed excess eye fat and skin of the lower eyelid area. In addition, there was insufficient fat inferior to the eyes, which accentuated the lower eye bag. Lower eyelid surgery alone would have not provided his desired results.

He underwent lower blepharoplasty and fat transfer to the upper cheeks and midface. Fat transfer obtains patient's own fat with liposuction and places in desired areas. After results are a few weeks after his surgery and shows natural results.
