Correction of eyelid ptosis necessary

Kamran Khoobehi, MD answers: Treatment for sunken and hollow eyes?

I have a sunken eyes with a shortage of upper eyelid fat. It's genetic and that's what gives me a tired and elderly look. What is the best treatment for this? A fat grafting surgery? Or a fat injection? Pease help. I'm a 28 year old (female) and my problem isn't the extra upper eyelid fat as most people had but the opposite, a shortage of an upper eyelid fat.

Based on the picture you have upper eyelid ptosis. This is a congenital condition. If you get a eye examination by a opthomologist you will have a visual field defect and usually these patient have a hard time seeing at night.

You will need a ptosis repair and possible fat grafting.
