Eric M. Joseph, MD · Answer

When someone is born with indentations between the lower eyelid and mid-face, these indentations are usually due to retaining ligaments that go down to the bone. We have had limited success in correcting these with microdroplet Silikon-1000, a permanent soft tissue filler. I hope this is helpful. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for your question and photographed.  The lines that you see anatomically are called Nasojugal folds.

Options to make them less noticeable include dermal filler injections such as Restylane lift or Voluma.  If you choose this method be certain to find a very experienced injector because reducing the appearance of these lines requires a lot of skill.
