Hollow Dark Circles: What to Do? HA Filler, Blepharoplasty, Fat Grafting, Laser? (photo)

Hello Doctors, I have genetic dark circles. Their darkness is exacerbated further by the hollowness around my orbital bone and the indentation of my tear troughs. This is something that would be remarkable for me to fix. I've tried expensive creams w/ no luck & want tangible results. The 2-fold problem seems to only be solved by restoring volume & diminishing darkness. Should I get laser Arcus Marginalis release (transconjuctival incision), fat repositioning, laser therapy? Thank you!

Using a laser to perform lower eyelid surgery will not add anything to your result.

Given your age and issues, what you need is under eye fillers using Restylane by a surgeon who really knows what they are doing. I suspect you will be disappointed with lower eyelid surgery.
