What’s the best option to improve under eye circles/atrophied fat? Second blepharoplasty? Only 54 years. 12 years post. (photos)

Asked By:1672 in Bristol, GB

I had a lower blepharoplasty 12 years ago with good results. The fat under my skin had atrophied, probably from essential hydrocortisone use. I was told it would probably need redoing after 10 years or so. Do I go through the operation again or can fillers be used.. someone said fillers can only be used on taut skin? I am only 54.
