Under eye circles after midface lift. What could I do to smooth this? (Photo)

Mackenzie_44
Hi I had a subperiosteal midface lift through my temple and intraoral. I’m 8 months out and have these strong crescent shaped lines under my eyes. My eyes are deep set. What likely caused this and what could I do to smooth it? Fillers make me nervous because I’ve heard surgeons talk about migration into under the eyeball, tyndalling, and with longer use it causing pouches. Should I have opted for a transconjunctival blepharoplasty instead? thanks!
