Open Structural fat grafting is most effective and safest treatment

Brooke R. Seckel, MD answers: Fat transfer for under eye hollows

I've heard about a procedure where my body fat can be transferred or injected on my under eye area for dark circles and hollowness. Is this safe, and will results be permanent?

I have had great luck with open surgical fat grafting to correct dark circles under the eyes.

I avoid filler and  fat injections. injecting around the eye is dangerous, in my opinion. There has been a reported case of blindness following filler injection around the eyes in England and the companies that sell fillers do not recommend that fillers be injected around the eyes.
