I am 24 years old and have developed sunken eyes. After using an eye cream, I had a headache behind my eyeballs and since then, my eyes have sunk in and have deep, dark depressions around them. It has been 2 weeks and there has been no improvement. I was wondering what kind of options are available. Will gaining weight help?

Combining Juvederm UltraXC With A Little Radiesse Works Well For Tear Troughs, Hollows and Dark Circles Under the Eyes

Sunken eyes at age 24

Well. It seems obvious to me that you have very beautiful eyes at age 24 and should not be paying them so much mind. Nonetheless, I would stop the eye cream which is causing you headaches.
