Is there a non-surgical way to reverse or improve under eye cheek dents? (Photos)

October 29, 2017
Asked By:estrock in Brooklyn, NY

I recently began to notice under eye cheek dents on both sides of my face. I'm 27, and they're not wrinkles because there's no facial expression I make that dents my cheeks in that way. I would love to do something about these (ideally non-surgically). I'm not sure if it caused by fatigue, age or if it has anything to do with my contacts and the way I might pull on my face. Is there a topical cream I could use to improve this? Is it just a question of getting more sleep?
