Fat Grafting Under the Eyes
As mentioned above, it is very important to preserve (or restore) soft tissue volume in the lower lid. When I review with eyelid surgery patients some photographs from their twenties, in most cases we find that years ago there was no visible demarcation between lid and cheek, but instead a smooth, gently convex curve extending downward from the lower lid margin.
In patients who have developed deep 'tear troughs' at the junction of the lower lid and cheek, adjacent to the side of the...

Fat transfer to the eyes
Dear whatsmyname,
A fat transfer to the eyes would look great on you
It is a nice permanent and natural looking procedure
The cost can vary, and expect to have starting prices in the 3K range
When looking for the right doctor, ask your friends, visit websites, possibly even asking your primary care doctor
Best regards,

Although temporary, this would give you a good idea of what a fat injection could do for you. Some surgeons believe that the injection of fat improves the...

Fat grafting vs blepharoplasty
Honestly, your photos are a bit blurred so not ideal for making recommendations, however its seems to me that you have a combination fat prolapse with a tear trough deformity.
An in person consultation can help determine whether a lower blepharoplasty with fat repositioning may be enough for you, or whether fat grafting would also be needed to augment your tear trough and possibly cheek. You should recognize that the tear trough is a challenging location for fat grafting as poor...

Fat Grafting to Tear Trough
Facial fat grafting procedures have become very popular in the past few years, because, if done correctly, they can produce a subtle or dramatic result that is permanent. I think your photoshopped image is not unreasonable, and I think you need to find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials to address your needs.
