Fat transfer for undereye hollows/tear troughs?

[pandarific]

Hi all, just wondering if anyone here has had fat transfer rather than fillers to the tear trough area? I've got genetic hollowness under there that's only become a problem from my late 20s, but it's getting worse and worse as time goes on. :(

I'm attracted by fat transfer rather than fillers as fat transfer is permanent while fillers need to be repeated, and I'd much rather have the hollowness sorted once and for all, rather than forever have to go back to get the filler, which would work out much more expensive in the end.

I've seen it recommended to use an oculoplastic surgeon for anything to do with fat transfer around the eyes, and Dr Jesper Sorensen (sorensenclinic.com/aesthetic-surgery/face/fat-transfer/) seems to tick all the boxes - anyone have any experience with him, or just with fat transfer in general?

Not seen anyone about this yet, just gathering info!

I know this thread is quite old but if anyone could help me with further info about blepharoplasty with Jesper Sorensen, I would be really grateful. I've just been to see him about a revision upper bleph and possible fat transfer, but feeling very cautious due to past bad experience elsewhere with my first surgery. I've also seen 4 other eye surgeons, but feel that JS is "the one". Just need some reassurance! Thank you everyone - it's such a scary business!

I’ve had experience. I had a facial fat transfer which was ok generally . Unfortunately I also had fat put in tear trough area. This resulted in on overfill one side .. underneath the tear trough area and a small fat lump. He was not willing to rectify this even though he said he would sfo so should there be any issues. Now have to go elsewhere at more expensive.

It didn’t work out for me with him. I had a facial fat transfer following fat loss from laser. The face general was ok all be it a small improvement. Unfortunately I had fat put at the very bottom on my eye bag I think these are tear troughs .. it’s left some malar edaema and a fat lump at the very top of my cheek bone…

I understood the risks but I didn’t understood why he wouldn’t address the fat lump which is a result of overfill in a smallish area… prior to the surgery I understood there would be an attempt to rectify this.

I really need to talk to someone.
my son is 30 and has attacked me 4 times. I blame myself because I married a man who was a narcissist and was cruel to me and my son.
I stupidly gave my son £50,000 from my inheritance to set himself up and leave home . I only charged him £100 rent so he could save. During Covid he got me by the neck and dragged upstairs. I called police but in end begged them to drop charges as I didn’t want him to lose job. I took him back against domestic abuse advice and police advice.
it was on condition he left home . He’s still here and I want to sell my house and buy another and live with a wonderful man I met 3 years ago. But I feel worried and guilty about leaving my son who is 32. I think he’s blown the money he had . I don’t know what’s right.

Sorry to hear this. Has he said why he won't rectify it?

How long does fat transfer to the face realistically last? Can some of it really remain permanently?

Especially around the eyes/hollow around eyelids.

And how risky a procedure is it, if you go with an oculoplastic surgeon?
