She had one of the largest collections of fat underneath the skin of the
eyelids that I've seen. She had those large attractive eyes that were
partially hidden by the fat protrusions.
The bulges are easy to see. In most people,
excess fat also resides in the upper eyelids, but only in the inner corner of
the upper eyelid, adjacent to the nose.
During the upper eyelid surgery, besides the removal of excess skin, the fat
that makes the little bulge next the nose is removed as well.

Questioner:
My plastic surgeon doesn't use drain tubes after Neck Lift/Facelift. Is that okay?
(Questioner submitted photos)
Dr. Denenberg's answer: Drains after facelift
Deb,
This is a question that cosmetic surgeons discuss regularly and you will find many different opinions. Most feel drains do help minimize seromas (fluid collections under the skin) and improve the recovery process. Some surgeons use fibrin sealants which also work well. Others just depend on dressings and pressure. In general, however, if your surgeon is experienced with facelifts and getting excellent results, then whether or not they use drains should not be an issue.
Best of luck with your procedure-
