Have you had any radiofrequency? That can sometimes melt fat and make one look older. Yes, fat transfer can restore faces to an earlier age. Do be sure to see someone with a lot of experience, since FFG is more of an art than science.

It has been our experience in over 25 years of use of fat grafts for periorbital rejuvenation that graft take is around 30% in average. This means also that fat grafts do not take equally in all areas. Secondary grafting is done in probably 20-30% of patients 8-12 months after first procedure....

I'm not sure imaging would help in this case. This is extremely thin skin and you likely have some fat which has become scarred. It could be removed if it bothers you.

In very selective cases fat grafting of the upper eyelids may be a good option. However, that requires a true expert otherwise you may end with bad result. Start searching for such a surgeon and be very thorough in your research. Good luck.

Fat grafting using micro and nano fat grafts would be my choice in your situation. Considering that fat graft survival is unpredictable (around 30% in average in periorbital-cheek areas) it is possible that you may need a second round of grafting 8-12 months later. Hope this helps.

You could benefit from facial fat transfer or filler (like Renuva who promotes fat growth very effectively). Best of luck !
