36F, what causes line under one eye & can it be fixed? (Photos)

Question

36F. The r side (in the picture) under my eye has a line under it and is more prevalent as I smile. This is a line I've noticed before, but it's becoming more prevalent as I've lost weight. It could just be my facial structure, but was curious as to what may cause this, and if it can be fixed? Current procedures: Botox - forehead and crows feet Under eye filler - 1 year ago (I noticed this line prior to getting under eye filler, but wonder if it could possibly make it more apparent) Thanks!

Thank you for your question. Fullness under the eyes can be due to a variety of factors, but lymphatic drainage and fat pads are two of the more common causes. Additionally, it is possible that filler accentuated this, as fillers will pull in water after placement. Based on the look of it, I wouldn't be surprised if it's filler contributing. A careful examination would be the best way to determine the cause. I hope this helps, and all the best to you.

It's difficult to say without the benefit of a formal evaluation. This is my expertise and a huge portion of my practice. Asymmetry is normal and expected. See an expert who does facial shaping with surgical and non surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Hello, and thank you for your question. Lines under the eyes are a natural result of aging, although external factors such as sun damage and smoking, as well as weight loss and genetic traits, can accelerate their formation. Fortunately, they can be treated with procedures like dermal filler injections. Dermal fillers like Restylane and Juvederm can dramatically improve the appearance of deep tear troughs. The filler adds subtle volume to minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with a reputable, experienced injector. These experts will know the most advanced injectable techniques and have an aesthetic eye for facial balance to help achieve the most natural-looking results. During your consultation, your provider can assess your facial profile, recommend the best procedure/s, and ensure the best possible outcome.

The area that concerns you is becoming more noticeable likely from volume/fat loss and should improve with further filler treatment.  Visit with an expert injector for an evaluation and treatment.

John Tang, MD · Answer

Based upon your submitted photos, the reason why you are seeing this line is because you are losing volume (fat, collagen) so this is causing a depression/line.  The way that you improve this is injecting a dermal filler into that area.
