Hi, The routine fat injection to the face includes, cheekbones, lips, temporal areas, lateral (outer) eyebrows, lower eyelids. Upper eyelids are not a routine injection site but we sometimes use fat injection in the upper eyelids for patients who has undergone an upper blepharoplasty before, to restore the over-excision of fat from the upper eyelids. Unless the fat is injected behind the orbital septum and in copious amounts, it's very unlikely to cause any complications.
