Not Thermage

D.J. Verret, MD answers: Thermage or fat grafting for sunken, tired looking upper eyelids?

My upper eyelids are nice and full when I first wake up in the morning, then of couple hours later, they start to get a bit sunken and tired looking. If I catch a nap during the day, they would look nice and full for couple hours. Will Thermage help or do I need the fat grafting to fix the problem?

I would be wary of using Thermage in the upper eyelids - and I don't think it would help with what you describe. I would certainly suggest a consultation with an oculoplastic surgeon or facial plastic surgeon. Your problem may be correct with fillers as some of the other physicians suggest, it may require a brow lift, or it may be due to some other medical condition. I would certainly recommend a consultation with a physician to determine your best course of action.
