It is quite common to find that cheek fillers don't always provide the "lift" needed to fix under-eye hollows, and in some cases, they can actually highlight the transition between the cheek and the eyelid, making the area look more prominent rather than smoother. At 40, what you’re likely experiencing is a combination of natural fat pad migration and a deep tear trough, which creates that shadow you're seeing. While a lower blepharoplasty might seem like a "big" step, it is actually the most definitive way to address this because it allows a surgeon to perform a fat transposition&mdash;essentially taking the natural fat you already have under the eye and repositioning it to fill the hollows, creating a permanent, seamless transition. This often looks much more natural than filler because it uses your own tissue and won't ever look "puffy" or uneven. If you're tired of the "tired" look and fillers aren't hitting the mark, a consultation for a conservative lower bleph could be very beneficial to see if moving that tissue around is the missing piece for you.
