Ways to Improve Hollow, Round Eyes?

I am 20 and have always been insecure about my eyes, as they often give a "shadowed" appearance in photos and look lost in my face. I also have undereye hollows (dark under eye area and I can feel the bone). Is there any procedure I could undergo to help improve their appearance? Also, is there any way that the eyes can be shaped to appear wider or larger to better fit one's facial structure? My eyes are really round/circular. Thanks in advance for any advice you can give to me!

I would be very weary of surgical solutions for these concerns.

Upper Eyelid Hollows & Shadows Can Respond Well To Fillers

Much attention has been given lately to the treatment of lower eyelid hollows and shadows with fillers and volumizing agents. In experienced hands, dark circles, hollows and tear troughs can be easily improved with these agents in a matter of minutes. Less attention has been given to another not uncommon aesthetic problem of the eye area, namely upper eyelid hollows-with shadowing-a look that some patients have described to me as "cadaverous" in appearance (especially when accompanied by... more
