You have two different options for treating this concern. The nonsurgical approach involves placing some well-placed dermal filler in the tear troughs. The filler produces subtle volume to reverse the hollowing and discoloration you see. Results typically last 6-12 months. A more permanent...

Hello, Thank you for your question. Laser doesn't tend to do much here so would be best avoided. As would any cream that someone tries to sell you to tighten the eyelid skin. None of it really works. It's a bit difficult to tell from the photos, but it seems like you have slightly low eyebrows...
