Best permanent treatment for hollow upper eyelids? Would structural grafting/fat transfer help? (photos)

Asked By:jasz5555 in Brisbane City, Queensland, Australia

Hi, last year I had a double osteotomy to correct an Anterior Open Bite. My jaw was moved forward and a consequence of this procedure was hollow upper eyelids. I look tired and older and I want something done to enhance my appearance. I considered upper blepharoplasty but I don’t think it will help. Would structural grafting/fat transfer fix hollow upper eyelids? Is there a permanent fix opposed to fillers.
