Very Sunken Eyes. What Are My Options? (photo)

Question

My eyes are so sunken, I have had doctors say they don't know what to do. Others say fat injections. I am very nervous about making the problem look worse. The skin seems to be directly over bone and the eyes are very deep.

I assume you are talking about the hollowness in your upper eyelid area.  I would need more information to accurately answer your question.  Did you have surgery in the past around your eye and what specifically concerns you?

	 

	For the hollowness above your eyes, I would first inject the region with a hyaluranic acid filler.  It will help with the hollowness, but there are limitations.

	 

	Fat grafting around the eye must be done cautiously.  The skin around the eye is thin and subtle abnormalities from the fat transfer can be easily seen.

Mark Taylor, MD · Answer

I agree with doctor Goldberger.  Restylane is a very safe product around the eyes and totally reversible if you do not like the results of treatment.

Sam Goldberger, MD · Answer

You would need to be evaluated first, but fillers may be an option.  Restylane is a good filler for this area and is reversible in case you don't like it.
