Treatment for Sunken Areas Around Eyes and Nose?

August 19, 2009
Asked By:black eyes in maryland

I have sunken eyes, especially on the inset of my nose. I have had my "tear troughs" filled with Restylane, but I still get asked if I have a black eye! I have consulted with a plastic surgeon about this and she said that if I were to get filler in that area, that I risk blocking my tear ducts. Any advice? What other treatments would you recommend?
