Options, whether non-surgical or surgical—to improve the texture, hollowness, and vascular appearance under my eyes? (Photos)

Hi, I had under-eye filler when I was 23. Although I wasn’t completely happy with the result, it did help somewhat with my under-eye darkness and skin texture. A few years later, a dermatologist dissolved the filler with hyaluronidase. After that, the area became very hollow, and the texture turned uneven and “gritty.” I left it alone for a while, but later a plastic surgeon added more filler, which looked okay at first. However, over time the area developed that same gritty texture again, and the filler has become quite noticeable—even under makeup. I’ve always had some genetic under-eye vascularity, but now it’s much more visible. People often ask if I have a bruise, especially under my left eye, which is also a bit puffier. It’s been years since my last treatment, and I even tried a topical cream that claims to dissolve filler, but it didn’t help. Is there any treatment or surgical option available to resurface and improve the texture and appearance of my under-eye area?
