What is the Best Way, Including Surgeries, to Get Rid of the Appearance of Hollow Eyes?
I've tried juvederm injections but they only lasted 3 months. At $600 a vial it is too expensive to continuously have done. Would a facelift correct? If so what kind of facelift? I hate looking tired all of the time. Thanks for any suggestions.

Getting rid of hollow eyes
A facelift will not help get rid of the appearance of hollow eyes. Without any photographs it is impossible to tell how hollow your eyes are, whether or not you have had previous eyelid surgery before and are trying to restore volume into the hollow eyes.

Treating hollow eyes
In my experience, Juvederm works very well for a 1 to 2 year correction of the area you describe. Your next best choice would be mid-face lift (cheeklift) procedure. It is true that a facelift improves this area, especially when combined with a cheeklift and/or blepharoplasty. Your best bet is to see aboard certified plastic surgeon who can take a look at you and your facial structure and make recommendations based on his or her examination.

Good luck and be well.

Hollow eyes
Fillers around the eyes for hollowness are usually the simplest remedy. Sometimes fat can be injected or even redraped to camouflage the area.

Surgical treatment of hollow eyes
It sounds like you wore satisfied with the results but not happy with how long they lasted. Therefore the answer is definitely a filler. The question is which filler. You could choose a longer lasting filler but you have to be careful who you choose to place the longer lasting filler. The juvederm doctor may be great with juvederm but not so great with another type of filler. Alternatively you could have free fat grafts taken from elsewhere on the body and placed to fill the hollow. Some...
