I’m still just in my late 30s so perhaps too young and not yet a candidate for a facelift. But I’m bothered by this fold or hollow or crease I have under my left eye area, around the apple of my cheek. I have done under eye fillers in the past, years ago though. I also did voluma in my cheekbones twice. But I don’t know why I have this weird ridge/crease thing and my doctor doesn’t offer me any solutions. Is this possibly correctable?

Answer: Lower eyelid crease Without a physical exam, it is difficult to fully respond but regardless, this area would not be helped with a facelift. You might need to consider hyaluronidase to dissolve some of the filler that possibly migrated to create this ridge. You also might be suffering from edema due to clogged lymphatics, a very unfortunate side-effect of undereye fillers. If the hyaluronidase does not work, and it is determined that the irregular area is not caused by edema, perhaps you need filler placed below the ridge to camouflage it. Never, but never use any filler under the eyes that is not an HA (hyaluronic acid) filler. I recommend consulting in person with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your concerns and to see what can be done. If possible, bring photos of yourself before the filler to diagnose your current issue.

Answer: Eye crease I am not certain but based on the picture you may have some residual filler above the crease, causing this issue. I would suggest you see a board certified physician experienced with injectables to explore this possibility and the possibility of dissolving that product if indeed it is the cause. Good luck!
