Which procedure would help minimize the appearance of a dent under my eye when smiling? (photos)

Question

In photos I get this dent under my eye. It doesn't seem to be appearing in real life but in certain lighting it shows up, what is it and can it be corrected?

Christopher David Jones, MBBS, BSc, FRCS (Plast) · Answer

The dent is likely due to herniation of one of the lower fat pads into an abnormal position. I would advise that you see a Plastic surgeon with an interest in facial aesthetics for full assessment. Treatment may include temporary filler to camouflage the area or surgery to reposition the fat.

Angelica Kavouni, MD, PhD, FRCS(Eng) · Answer

Hi there it seems that there is dislocation of the lateral fat pad of the eyelid. This can be corrected with a lower blepharoplasty.  It is also possible to camouflage with Botox and fillers , to smooth the area when you smile.
