Sunken eyes

The eyes obviously play an important role in your facial appearance, and a vital role in the function of your body. Cosmetic imperfections around the eyes can be troublesome, but a skilled, careful practitioner such as an oculoplastic surgeon may be able to treat a condition described as sunken eyes. Physicians on RealSelf have offered advice on treating sunken eyes, so read on to learn more.


Sunken eyes causes

The cause of sunken eyes can be a combination of factors: a loss of tissue or fat around the eyes, a sagging lower eyelid, or hollowness in the cheeks can all contribute to this condition.


Sunken eyes treatment

Possible treatments for sunken eyes include surgical correction of a ptopic eyelid via ptosis correction, structural fat grafting around the eyelids, or dermal fillers. The considerations for treatment will vary depending on which part of the eye or face (upper or lower eyelid) exhibits a problem.
