Sunken, hollow eyelid due to trauma. Can this be fixed permanently by surgery? (Photo)

July 25, 2023
Asked By:erikaszilvai in Coffeyville, Kansas

I am 48 year old female. My right upper eyelid does not have the proper support provided by the fatty tissue due to a trauma 20 years ago. The lack of fat deprives the upper eyelid of the volumes necessary for the overall harmony of my face. My question is instead of temporarily injections into the eyelid, can this condition be fixed by surgery permanently? Thank you for answering my question.
