What Can I Do For My Deep Grooves and Thin Skin Under Eyes? (photo)

im 35, i have great skin, minimal fine lines... i just had my first filler placed in my smile lines bc having such full deep cheeks... however i cannot wear enough concealer to cover the deep grooves under my eyes above my cheeks. i was told im not a good candidate for a filler my skin is so thin under eyes because with my ski in tends to be very dark and thin under eyes --it would prob make them look darker and blueish... im looking for some direction..

What Can Be Done For Deep Grooves and Thin Skin Under Eyes?

Filler is actually a reasonable option. It just needs to be placed more deeply to prevent the Tyndall effect - blue discoloration from superficial filler placement. The results should last up to one year.

Fat will do the Trick

Deep Grooves Under Eyes

Hi Sing. You are a great candidate for tear trough injections. While surgery is an option too, most of our younger patients do not opt for surgery at a young age. Restylane would be a great option to fill in the grooves you highlight in the photo. It's likely that it would take about 2 cc's of product and last about a year. In our practice this procedure costs around $1,000 for 2 cc's. View the photos below for results with the procedure. Thanks... more

Eyelid bags

You are a candidate for lower blepharoplasty and fat transposition to tear trough. You are also a candidate for non surgical fillers to tear trough. Products like restylane fine line, juviderm refine, teosyal are excellent in this area. There is also a role for PRP to enhance skin quality.
