I am 45 years old and have had fillers to increase volume in the mid face and improve the under eye 4years ago. I’d like to do something that will last longer and help with eye hollowness, and dark circles, loss of mid face volume, and mid face sagging. Surgery seems to be the best option at this point. My question is what procedures would work best for my anatomy and concerns. Thanks!

Answer: I strongly recommend removing all of your facial filler. The filler is old enough that it is holding extra water and making you look puffy. That is relevant because that extra volume actually makes you look 10 years older than you should. Remove the filler and instantly you will look much younger. No the enzyme does not "wreck" your skin. You may need a very small amount of filler in the under eye area and around the mouth. You do have upper eyelid ptosis and I would recommend having that thoughtfully corrected.

Answer: Periorbital fat grafting There is no doubt that in your case fat grafts, micro and nano, would be a better option for volume correction and dark circles. In some cases fat grafting may need to be repeated 8-12 months in order to built necessary volume. This is very sensitive technique and you should make effort to find an experienced board certified plastic surgeon to evaluate and treat you. Good luck.
