Can a lower blepharoplasty help with hollow under eyes and dark circles? Make it worse? No bags or puffiness here!

Asked By:lisataylor7 in Jackson, LA

have a very thin face and hollow under eyes, dark circles rather than bags. My orbital bone is prominent and I am so unhappy with this. I have had fillers and of course that is temporary. I explored fat grafting and found unhappy patients who had this and Dr's who had to correct it. My plastic surgeon will not inject fat under the eye area and instead recommends a lower blepharoplasty. Can this help my hollows and dark circles? Could it make it worse?
