Not long ago, this became a bit of a hot topic online. The truth is, because of swelling, temporary double vision and the like can happen, but if permanent double vision or strabismus develops,
then there was probably some kind of surgical problem. The muscles that move the eye up, down and diagonally are called the inferior oblique and inferior rectus, and they do sit fairly close to the under-eye fat. But when we do under-eye fat repositioning,
as long as we operate properly in a plane that doesn't damage these muscles, we really shouldn't ever come across them, and of course there'd be no way we'd damage them. As long as the surgery is done safely and well, you can think of this as a side effect that shouldn't happen
and that isn't likely to happen easily, either.
