I have these skin folds around my eyes. They make my eyes look sunken and it’s hard to apply certain styles of makeup. I’d like to know what if anything can be done about them.

Answer: Treatment options The area of concern is highly complex and simply understanding what the problem is by itself can be a lengthy conversation. Your picture really does not depict what your actual concern is. Is it the medial canthal webbing or loss of volume in tear trough? I suggest having a few in person, consultations with oculoplastic surgeons in your community. Best, Mats Hagstrom, MD

Answer: Nasojugal folds You have some hollowing of the junction between the eyelids and the cheek, which is very common. Treatment would consist of a soft tissue filler versus fat grafting of the cheeks to offer support of the lower eyelid. I would caution that some patients who have the tendency to have allergic eyelid swelling or puffiness may experience reactions to the fillers that can cause prolonged swelling or a bluish hue. Something to consider when weighing your options.
