I am very distressed and depressed about how my under-eye area looks. I am 52 years old. I have had past problems with juvederm being injected under my eyes and had it dissolved using hyaluronidase about 4 years ago.

I look horrible but my injector says I just need to stop consuming sodium. I feel hopeless-any advice please!
