Can Cheek Lift Help with Hollow Eyes?

Cheeklifts performed through the lower eyelid can absolutely benefit hollow lower eyelids. We prefer an ultrashort incision type cheeklift (USIC), often with a fascial fat graft (LUSIC) at the eye cheek junction. We prefer NOT to touch the orbital septum, the tricky layer below the eye that increases the risk of pulling down of the lower eyelid.
Cheeklifts that originate in the mouth and the temple do a nice job lifting the cheeks, but do little for the lower eyelid area, in my opinion.
Grafts, as your doctors have wisely suggested, must be very targeted and conservatively placed or they will be lumpy.
We prefer fascial-fat grafts for this purpose (in our practice we call them LiveFill(TM) grafts).

At home peels like cosmelan, enlighten and aerify along with dermarolling (MTS roller with anteage MD ampules) should be started now. There are many things you can do to treat under eye hollows and dark circles. A surgical option to remove skin and/or fat will such as lower eyelid blepharoplasty with or without fat pad repositioning will be the best long term. There are many things you can do to treat under eye hollows and dark circles without surgery. Non invasive less downtime options such as fillers (Belotero, Juvederm Volbella​), lasers (Moxi/Halo/Fraxel/CO2​), Renuvion (J-Plasma), microneedling/PRP, stem cells and microneedling RF like Fractora PiXel8 or Morpheus can all help give some improvement. Accutite can often be used or stronger lasers like erbium or co2 spot treatment can tighten the skin and give very quick improvement in wrinkles and texture. A surgical option to remove skin and/or fat might be the best solution long-term. I suggest you get a formal consultation to see what is best for you and your goals. Best, Dr. Emer.

Yes, cheek augmentation can soften the tear troughs. I would recommend a two step technique. Inject the cheeks first. Wait at least 10 to 14 days and reevaluate your look. If there remains some tear trough concerns you can address them at this time with the probability that you will need less product for the desired effect.
