I consulted a surgeon who feels that all I need is a fat transfer to my midface and all of the issues will be corrected. Does Dr. Steinsapir offer this approach?
To address your particular concerns, a personal consultation with Dr. Steinsapir would be necessary. In general however, fat transfer to the under eye area has been relatively disappointing. The arcus marginalis release rotates a small volume of fat into the deepest portion of the under eye circle which is helpful. However, when the groove is profound, the arcus marginalis release will not provide a satisfactory degree of improvement. It is precisely these situations where the fat transfer has the greatest risk of post-procedure lumps and irregularities.
