Is Silikon 1000 Good for Under Eye Hollows Treatment?

I have terrible under eye hollowness. I am Middle eastern and have this genetic. Also, my upper eyelid hollow as you see some. I just want to fill the under eye area all the way to the outer corner of the lower eyelid where it meets upper eyelid area, so that the result is PERMANENT. Which one is permanent? - structural fat grafting with injections or Silikon 1000 injection? I hear that Silikon 1000 is permanant. Is it good for under eye? or, I rather my own fat?
