I had lower eyelid surgery and there seems to be residual fullness in the outer third of my lower eyelids. Is it possible that my doctor missed some eyelid fat?
There are three fat pockets described for the lower eyelids. The two central pockets are easily accessed during lower eyelid surgery. The outer fat pocket is less easily accessed during eyelid surgery. The experienced eyelid surgeon anticipates this and with a little effort, the needed fat sculpting can be accomplished. Residual lower eyelid fullness responds well to revisional lower eyelid surgery.
