Question:
This is going to seem like a silly questions. eye plastics?

I am pre-op and have fatty pads under my eyes. I have been considering having my eyes "done", should I wait until I lose the weight and see if I lose the fat under my eyes?    — yvonne1953 (posted on October 21, 2004)

Yes! Wait! Then if there are any wrinkles, they'll go, too and they'll look nice 'n fresh. Costs the same either way. Puffs alone or puffs 'n bags.

I think I should wait until a later date, they might disappear or get worse.

I vote "Wait." Ya never know. I had no particular problems with my eyes pre-op but, post-op, developed leaky eyeballs that were caused by the skin on my lower eyelids being too loose (I never heard 'o this one before, that's for sure). Dunno if that was from age or weight loss or both, but insurance paid for a lower eyelid lift (in contast, my LBL was self-paid, go figure). I had a lot of leftover skin on my face, so had a brow lift thrown in and PS tried to lift some of the excess skin off the face as part of eyelid lift (dunno yet it if worked, too soon to say). I'd absolutely wait for PS til you've parked at goal for a good while, unless there's a screaming medical necessity to have it done now.

Like the others said - Wait. Just because if you have other things that you want tightened up it can all be done at once. As far as the fat under the eyes go - that won't go away without ps. At least that is what I've always heard.
