Fixing Dents Under the Eyes

The dents under the eyes are considered a tear-trough defect. The indents can be addressed surgically or non surgically. Non surgical options include some type of injectable filler such as a hyaluronic acid Surgical options include lower eyelid surgery with fat re-positioning or fat grafting. Either option can give great results.
