What Type of Facelift Will Correct Under Eye Hollowness?

An endoscopic midface lift will elevate the soft tissues in your cheek and restore some of the volume under your eyes.  A certain degree of improvement may also be noticed after a deep plane facelift if your surgeon takes the dissection medially enough.  Depending on the cause of your under eye hollowness, lower blepharoplasty with fat repositioning and fat grafting may be the most appropriate treatment to correct it.  

Hi BrookeinCO,

Treatment of under eye hollowness depends on the condition creating the appearance of hollowness. Fillers are used to treat areas of volume loss. Surgery is performed to remove or reposition fatty herniations that can give the appearance of lower eyelid hollowness. Often, both treatments are recommended. Diagnosis by a facial surgeon is necessary to determine which treatment(s) is best for you.

Best of luck,
