What type of surgery should I get for hollow deep set eyes? (photos)

zafrinxFeb 2, 2022
my eyes are deep set hollow and sunken. Causing them to be dark on my eyelids too , I’m 18 and I’m considering getting a eyelid surgery or some kind because my brown bone is so prominent pushing my eyes back it feels like death .
