What can be done to correct these indentations under my eyes when I smile? (Photo)

lvnlvn
2 doctors say it's from fat pad migration, neither would put filler in and said it would change my whole face and "put a lot of weight under my eyes". They didn't offer me any solution of how to correct this. I thought maybe adding filler to my outer upper cheeks may smooth it out a bit because when I use my fingers to pull that area a little they smooth out. But the doctor I saw today said it won't have any effect on that area and if anything will look worse. Any suggestions appreciated!
