How to Improve Hollow Below Eye Area and Skin Fold? (photo)
As you can see in my photo my lower eye area is really ugly. How can I fix this area? I have had this fold that runs from the corner of my eye to my nose and therefore makes a hollow valley under my eyes and I always look tired or scary. Please help!

Fat injections under the eyes
Dear Chashatesherself,
You have 2 options for something like this:

Option 2 is a more permanent fix, and in experienced hands should last you a long time. Its a greater cost up front, but in the long run probably more cost effective.
Both are great options and you should choose which...

Under-eye Hollows
Hi Chas. Not to worry, you do have options. You look fairly young so if surgery is out of the question then we would recommend Restylane. We have had patients as young as 18 and in the same situation as you consider this procedure.
It's called the tear trough procedure and it helps to provide volume under the eyes where it has been lost due to age or in your situation, where the area is sunken because of your facial anatomy.
