I have thin skin around my eyes. How can I tackle this situation? How can I help this? (Photo)

Question

Hello I am only 24 years old with very very thin skin around the eyes, especially in the corners. I've totally lost myself because of it.. I tried fillers but it did not help. I think I need something that can thicken the skin more? My skin is hollow on the area which fillers won't really help much because the hollowness is so close to the eye.... Please please please help! is fat grafting an option here? Is PRP an option here? Thank you very much! :(

Hi,
In my perspective, a nano-fat periorbital fat injection combined with fractional radiofrequency microneedling would yield best results in your case. I usually do not recommend PRP injections on the darkening and hollowness of the lower eyelids.
Best wishes,

Thank you for your question and photo.  You are a candidate for combination treatment of filler and PRP. The filler will disguise the hollowing in the lateral orbital rim. The PRP will improve the hollowing medially and laterally. It will also improve your skin texture and thicken your skin resolving the crepiness.  PRP acts as a matrix that promotes skin’s own collagen growth much like what fertilizer does for grass. I prefer using Volbella off label for treating orbital rim hollowness. This is not an area to be trusted to a novice injector. Make sure you are seeing an experienced physician.
Best Regards,

In my opinion PRP is a good option which should be cost effective and cause you no harm.  A small amount of well placed injections by experienced hands may give you just enough to change the appearance to your liking.

Thin skin under and around the eyes can be a fairly common problem causing a tired appearance.  There are several approaches to helping this area.
Often light bases therapies such as BBL can help stimiulate tissue in this area and help to remove some of the fine lines along with thickening and tightening the skin here.
Platlet rich plasma injected to the tissue under the eyes is also a great option.  The plasma is full of growth factors and can stilmulate a collagen production along with some adipose(fatty) tissue which help smooth out the skin and improve the texture and even the hollowness here.
Fillers may be helpful not directly under the eye but to support the structures around the eye. For example at the cheek and even possibly the temple. 
Lastly, there are several good skincare products that may help to increase the thickeness of the supportive layer in the skin.  Vivier's Grenzine eye cream has this property.
