Fillers are excellent for filling eye area hollows

Tanuj Nakra, MD answers: Injectable fillers for hollow upper eyelids?

I had Blepharoplasty done 4 years ago (28 years old) but my upper eyelids are so hollow I look like I'm 45! Can juvederm be used to fill out this area?

As we age, we lose volume in our face. This includes the upper eyelids, eyebrows, and orbit. Changes that make us look aged include not just skin drooping, but loss of volume in these areas, and hollowness around the eyes.

Blepharoplasty surgery is designed to reduce fat in the orbit and tighten the skin of the eyelids. If you had a blepharoplasty that removed a lot of orbital fat, then it may make you appear very hollow. This may make you look a lot older than you really are.

You are right to ask about volume enhancement with Juvederm to reverse some of these changes. Juvederm is an excellent choice for your problem. The filler can be used to add volume to your orbit, eyelids, and brow to produce aesthetically pleasing contours.  Another option (perhaps more permanent) would be fat transfer to your brow and orbit areas. 

Good luck!
