Best Non-invasive Procedure for Hollow Under Eyes?

I'm a very fair-skinned young male and took Accutane for about 7 months at a high dosage during my youth. Since, I've noticed a very large decrease in facial tissue and a thinning of my facial skin. My cheeks have hollowed out as well as my eyes beneath and I'd like to know if there is anything to use such as a filler without visible abnormalities under the skin. I know some fillers will leave bumps and "seeds" under the skin.

Under eye filler

I like Juvederm or Restylane for the lower eye region. the lower eyelid and cheek skin are more sensitive than other areas in the face, so the experience of the injecting doctor must be higher.

Many doctors get nice results from microdroplet fat injection under the eyes... more

Try Restylane

In my opinion the best treatment for hollowness under the eyes is Restylane. Restylane is made from Hyaluronic acid with is a natural skin substance.

This one of the most difficult areas to treat because the skin is very think and it is often easy to see lumps unless the treatment is done just right. Even then, you may need... more

Fillers under the eyes

Anytime fillers are placed in the lower eyelid trough, there is always a small risk that lumps may appear. Usually these can be rubbed out if noticed within the first couple of days after the procedure. But the best treatment for your hollowing are probably facial fillers like juvederm, restylane, radiesse, or even autologous fat grafts. More invasive procedures include fate redraping or mid face lifts.
