Based on the photograph, you do not have any protruding fat herniation and very few under eye wrinkles. A well placed hyaluronic acid filler such as Restylane or Juvederm Ultra would soften the valley between your cheek and under eye area, and improve the "hollowness" of your eyes. In fact, I find patients such as yourself to be one of the best candidates for this sort of non-surgical eye lift.
Keep in mind, it would not completely obliterate the darkness under your eyes, since some of this darkness is probably due to pigment. This is not the easiest area to fill, so make sure you choose an experienced injector, such as a dermatologist or plastic surgeon, since this is not the easiest area to fill.
