The Best Solution for Sunken/droopy Eyes? (photo)
I am not sure whether my problem lies within the hollow just under the eye or if the eyelid requires attention as it droops somewhat. I am 35 years old and would have a preference for non invasive surgery to improve the eye area as opposed to the more invasive type. I would be grateful for any advise that anyone can offer.

What Will Help Me With My Sunken Droopy Eyes?
A very experienced Board Certified plastic surgeon or a Board Certified dermatologist with a reasonable amount of luck should improve the hollowness under your eyes on the first injection, but by the second or third injection, you will wish you never had it done. Things get lumpy and rarely do you get what you are looking for, even on the first go round.
I think your major problem is loose skin which is directly caused by the loose muscle underneath it. A lower eyelid...

Injectable for Sunken, Droopy Eyes
For hollowness beneath the eye, I would recommend a hyaluronic acid injectable filler or a Vampire Facelift to add volume in that area. For my patients with tear trough deformity, I sometimes perform tear-trough implant surgery. Tear trough implants are made of silicone – a soft rubber-like material that is inserted through a small incision and placed over the bone mass under the eyelid to augment its shape and create a more youthful appearance. A proper consultation is necessary...

Filler for dark circles
You have some fullness to your eyelids along with hollowness underneath the fullness, creating a shadow effect with dark circles. Filler injection are a good option for you if you are not interested in surgery.

Fillers for lower eyelid hollowness.
Fillers for lower eyelid hollowness can be done as the simplest approach. These would be Radiesse or Juvederm. The photos you show have too much light and you are smiling which changes what I need to see to give a proper opinion.

Under eye hollows: best treatment?
Hyaluronic acid fillers work well for the tear trough deformity seen in your picture. They will last 6-12 months and can be adjusted with different techniques of injection. As far as drooping, the upper and lower eyelids look to be in a normal position and I wouldn't recommend any invasive treatment to change this.

Restylane is a great first line option
The photo is a bit washed out, so difficult to say for sure, but it seems that you have what's called a "tear trough deformity" of the lower eyelids. This means that there is a bit of hollowness at the level of transition between the eyelids and the cheek, where your tears would flow if you were crying.
As far as non-invasive treatments go, hyaluronic acid injection [Restylane or Juvederm] are excellent options here. The usually last 6 months and maybe up to a year, are...
