Treatment for sunken and hollow eyes?

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.

I regularly perform structural fat grafting to uppper lid hollows and have been doing so for several years. I have been pleased with the results as have my patients. Hollow upper eyelids are agining. I treat people who genetically have hollow upper eyelids, people who experience hollowing as part of the againg... more

Although I have vast experience with fat transfer in the lower lids, I am not a fan of fat injections in the upper lids for your problems. The fat may make you lumpy and most importantly the excess weight can affect the muscle from working naturally. Although plastic surgeons love to provide answers for all... more

Shaha, Based on your age and depth of the upper lid sulcus, I would recommend a very small amount of hyaluronic acid filler. This injection has to be placed very carefully by a trained plastic surgeon. It has been my experience that hyaluronic acid fillers in this location can last 12 to 18... more

Shaha, Fat Grafting is likely the best option for you. The synthetic products are also a possibility, however, I feel you will get the most natural result with your own fat. Just make sure you go to someone with extensive experience with fat grafting. Good luck

Shaha, You have a deep upper eyelid fold with a low or ptotic eyelid. This condition requires surgical correction. There are several procedures available and specific to your specific condition. The surgical correction of the ptosis may improve the hollowing. If not, fat grafting may be performed. Good luck!

I have often placed strips of fat grafts into the upper lids for this exact problem as well as for post-operative correction of over-resected upper lid fat. The best fat to use is from the lower eyelid if that is available. Fat injection is less reliable, I feel.

However they are tricky and should only be done by someone with a lot of experience. Also the level of your upper lid lashes is slightly low (this is called minimal ptosis).  People with ptosis have a very deep fold.  This can possibly be corrected surgically.  You need to see an oculoplastic... more

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.

Fat autografting this close to the eye has been associated with blindness and is highly technique dependent. I would highly recccomend someone who is highly skilled and experienced with either FAMI (fat autograft muscle injection) or the Sid Coleman technique.  In terms of other dermal fillers, I... more
