Best Treatment for Under Eye Fat Loss and Circles? (photo)

A couple years ago I lost about 10lbs unintentionally and since then have noticed my face looks a lot thinner and more hollow than it used to. I've always had some darkness under my eyes but it has since become worse, accompanied with some tear trough hollowness and just overall looseness under my eyes. I was hoping someone could point me in the direction of the best treatment for my problems! I'm 24 and I've heard that non-permenant treatments are best for someone my age. I'd love any feedback!

Best Treatment for Under Eye Fat Loss and Circles?

The most commonly used options are off-the-shelf dermal fillers such as Juvederm or Restylane or fat transfer. I've found fat transfer to be somewhat unpredictable in the under eye area mainly due to the risk of lumps or bumps and uncertain survival of the transferred fat. Thus, I recommend a hyaluronic acid based dermal filler such as Juvederm for the undereye area. I hope this information is helpful. Stephen Weber, M.D. Lone Tree Facial Plastic Surgeon

Dermal Filler or Laser Resurfacing

Hi Deslynn, This seems to be a common concern. Loose skin and hollowness can happen at any age due to genetics or weight loss. We are a very high volume dermal filler practice and notice great improvements with dermal filler like Juvederm in the tear trough. Dermal filler may help loose skin however, you may need skin tightening or resurfacing for crepiness. It's always best to schedule a consultation prior. Dr. Ritacca more
