FAQ & Answers
I’m scared of looking hollow after lower eyelid surgery–how is that prevented?
- Hollowness is a very common and valid concern. Older techniques for lower eyelid blepharoplasty focused on simply removing the fat, which sometimes led to a sunken appearance. Through Dr. Zoumalan’s advanced techniques, the appropriate amount of fat is preserved and transposed (repositioned) to maintain natural volume.
- For patients who need additional volume, Dr. Zoumalan may also recommend fat grafting to add a soft fullness to the lower eyelids and midface. His fat grafting technique uses the patient’s own stem-cell-rich fat, which delivers supple, long-lasting results.
