Solutions for Hypertrophic Eye Muscle Bulge?

April 12, 2009
Asked By:RKris in Pittsburgh

I have what has been described to me as a hypertrophic muscle under my left eye. I also have undereye hollows. I've been told that injectables would improve the hollows but not the eye bulge, which is what bothers me the most. Will Blepharoplaty help or are there any other solutions? Thank you!
