Fat grafting
Not going to beat a dead horse here, but will mention that photos would be needed. However, as mentioned above, there are 2 major categories of revision: fat grafting and injectible fillers.

Sunken eyes after blepharoplasty

Eyelid hollow after blepharoplasty
Sometimes brow lifting along, without upper blepharoplasty, can unveil hollow upper lids. Fat grafting and filler injections are some options, each with advantages and disadvantages.
