What can be done to reduce the appearance of a sharp edge around the inner corners of my eyes? (photos)

Question

I'm a young female with an inherited problem - there is a sharp edge at the rims of orbital bones. I wish this area could be nicely smoothed out. I underwent upper blepharoplasty but only for excess skin (otherwise eyelids could be barely visible) and I'd prefer not to have it repeated as I'm afraid of scarring. Is it possible and safe to tight the skin of this area with melting fat and at the same time thicken the skin exactly at the rim to get rid of sharp edge with blue color?

Based on the photos, the prominence along the inner orbital rim appears to be related to your underlying anatomy rather than excess skin. Skin tightening alone is unlikely to improve this concern and could potentially make the contour more noticeable. Depending on your anatomy, volume restoration with fat grafting or other camouflage techniques may help soften the transition and reduce the appearance of the sharp edge. An evaluation by an experienced oculoplastic surgeon is recommended to determine the safest and most effective approach.
