Treatment of black areas underneath the eyes

Jeffrey E. Schreiber, MD answers: Treatment for sunken areas around eyes and nose?

I have sunken eyes, especially on the inset of my nose. I have had my "tear troughs" filled with Restylane, but I still get asked if I have a black eye! I have consulted with a plastic surgeon about this and she said that if I were to get filler in that area, that I risk blocking my tear ducts. Any advice? What other treatments would you recommend?

If you're tried fillers and they haven't worked out for you, implants may be a good option.  These are usually made of silicone or plastic and are placed via incisions in the lower eyelid skin.  They are permanent, so make sure it's something that you really want to do.  In the meantime, however, you may need more that the usual amount of filler to get the results that you want.  Good luck!
