I'm Desperate for Help Concerning Under Eye Hollows at a Young Age.

Tags: dark circles, options, permanent, thin skin

I am 23 years old and have dark circles caused by thin skin, bags, and hollows that are genetic. I'm at a total loss as to where to begin. I have read so many mixed reviews on fillers. I also do not like that they are a temporary fix. I also can't afford to have injections on a repeated basis. I'm a firefighter in atlanta, and people always say I look exhausted because I cannot wear makeup to work. I'm desperate for a path to pursue.

Treatment for Hollowing of Eyes at Young Age

As you are young, these problems related to your eyes, such as eye bags, thin skin below eyes, and hollowing beneath eyes are not age related but rather are related to genetics and facial structure. A single solution is not the answer to your eye area problems that give you a tired appearance at a young age. Understanding that you have a limited budget, you should seek the guidance of an experienced and established specialist (as opposed to high volume medispa which sell cheap... more

Under Eye Hollows

Hi Emorel. If you are 23 years old and have profound hollows under the eyes, then you have correctly identified this as a genetic issue. There are 2 options in our opinion, lower blepharoplasty and Restylane injections. If finances are an issue, we would recommend the fillers. You mentioned that you were concerned about repeating the filler injections and about mixed results. The procedure typically lasts 9-12 months so is actually quite a good value compared to... more

Photos, of your face and eyes would help in the evaluation to define exactly what's causing the tired look which can be hollow, fat bags, excess upper eyelid skin or some other cause.

How to improve that tired, wan look on your young face

Hollowness under the eyes is an entity that has become more and more recognized. This can give patients who suffer with it a tired, aged look. Correction of this can be done in several fashions but primarily either injectable fillers or a fat repositioning during a lower blepharoplasty are the most common treatment methods. For patients who are young and not ready for surgery, injections are a nice way to soften the under hollows. These grooves, also called tear troughs or nasojugal... more

Fillers and a laser treatment should improve your under eye appearance

Hi there- It is important to understand that there are varying degrees of expertise and skill among those you might choose to perform these procedures... and hence there will be a large variance in patient outcomes and satisfaction. If you have someone who really know what they're doing perform the procedure, placement of fillers in your tear troughs with a laser treatment to diminish the dark color of the skin should give you a meaningful and relatively long lasting improvement. more

Restylane injections in the tear troughs will probably help you.

Hi. 1) This really works, but it is tricky to do. So you need to find an experienced plastic surgeon. Restylane is injected in tiny amounts deep, under the muscle. 2) In this location and when well done, Restylane lasts three years. So it is not something you constantly need to redo.

Treating the chroinc lower eyelid tired apperance

The options for treating tear troughs are either minimally invasive such as fillers or fat injections or surgical with lower blepharoplasty/eyelid surgery with manipulation of the fat, muscle and septum in that region to create a smoother transition from the lower eyelid and the cheek. I prefer Restylane in that region since it is less hydrophilic (water absorbing) then Juvederm and causes less swelling. In that region it may last up to two years. If for any reason you are not satisfied with... more
