Asked By:wish i had known in Los Angeles, CA

I'm 48. A year ago, I had under eye filler that created bags and ultimately needed to be removed with hyaluronidase. My under eye skin is now thin and lacks elasticity. I've had a phenol peel and dermapen treatments to try to fix this. I have had fillers around the orbital area but no fillers directly under eye due to doctor concerns with the thinness of the skin. What can I do to thicken skin and regain elasticity? (Note I'm wearing make-up in all pictures)
