Solutions for Deepset 'Sunken' Eyes and Flat Cheeks?
I'm only 30 but sometimes look several years older. In certain lighting and camera angles, I look awful! I've had very deep set eyes all my life along with dark circles and a flat mid-face area. What can I do to make my eyes less 'tired', and my mid-face/cheeks look more round/full youthful?
Sculptra, restylane, radiesse,, fat graft, cheek implant?? most cost effective over the long run with the best results?

Sunken Cheek Treatment Options
Flat midfacial area or sunken cheeks may be treated via multiple methods.Several cosmetic options are available to improve volume loss in the cheeks or midface. Volume loss is a natural progression seen with facial aging, or present at young age due to inadequate bone structure. Midface volume loss may also be seen earlier with genetic predisposition, medical conditions, severe weight changes, or medications too.

Facial analysis before cosmetic surgery
These photos are almost non-contributory because the side and oblique views are not really side and oblique. The frontal view it is out of focus and cuts off in the middle of the lower eyelids.

I suspect there is more of a lower jaw issue than a midface issue but cannot know for sure from these photos.

Cheek implants will augment flat cheeks
The flat cheeks can be augmented with simple small silastic cheek implants. This works quite well to augment the flat cheek area. The incision for this is placed in the intraoral area above the upper tooth roots and they are placed directly over the bone. There is really nothing that can be successfully done for hollow lower eyelids.

Filler Treatments Can Enhance Tired Eyes and Flat Cheeks
Dear Vicki4449,
Sunken eyes and flat cheeks may be improved with a combination of fillers (Restylane, Juvederm, Radiesse, Sculptra), fat grafting, cheek implants, tear trough implants, eyelift (blepharoplasty), and/or cheeklift.
Dark circles around the eyes can be a separate problem and may be due to thin skin, prominent veins, or pigmentary issues. Topical medicines, laser treatments, and/or fat grafting may help.
It is very difficult to make a meaningful assessment from the...
