Fat injections or fat grafting can be performed for sunken and hollow eyes

William Portuese, 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.

Fat injections or fat grafting can be performed for sunken and hollow eyes. However, it has to be done in the appropriate fashion so that it does not give the appearance of a lumpiness in the orbital area. It also has to be placed deep into the eyelid area so as not to be seen as lumpiness.
