I’d like recommendations for my lower eyelids as I don’t see a lot of results for patients with similar undereyes. I’ve always had the undereye fat pads or rolls, but the hollowness underneath has become more apparent (lack of sleep, etc). I am 31 and would hope to achieve a long lasting solution. Thank you.

Answer: Trophic orbicularis versus fat bags off lower eyelids You seem to have a condition which is referred to as hypertropic orbicularis. The orbicularis muscle it is used primary in eyelid closure and blinking. The upper portion of your orbicularis in your lower eyelids have become larged and therefore it gives a role to appearance. This may often be mistaken for excess fat while it is redundant muscles. A traditional blepharoplasty surgery will not resolve this issue.. The simplest way to address your hypertrophic orbicularis is with Botox injection to minimize the muscle contracture which would help to decrease its hypertrophic appearance. This must be done by someone who have extensive experience treating this condition. In severe case surgical option may be viable in which some of the muscle is resected out. One must be cautious, not to resect too much of the muscle because it may increase the chance of an ectropion. This will result in the eyelids turning outward. With proper technique, an ectropian can be avoided with excellent results. The simple solution for your condition is just the use of Botox and you should see significant improvement in one to two weeks. You may need repeated treatments in the future to maintain the appearance of a smoother and flatter eyelid.

Answer: Periorbital fat grafting, trimming of the muscle It is very likely that you have a mild malar hypoplasia, small cheek bones, what is the reason for early manifestation of your problem. Periorbital augmentation with fat grafts and trimming of the hypertrophic portion of orbicular muscle will bring more balance in periorbital areas. Good luck.
