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: HA Fillers Work Well For Improving Under-Eye Tear Troughs & Hollows The infraorbital tear troughs and hollows indicated in the photo are quite common problems treated just about every day in active cosmetic dermatology practice. There is a suggestion here of volume deficit in the upper cheek (ogee) region, and since the upper cheeks are such an important for the support for the under-eye area, simply revolumzing the cheeks with a robust HA volumizing filler would likely not only create a more oval, feminine, heart-shaped face, but secondarily improve the under-eye hollows and tear troughs. A low viscosity, cohesive, malleable HA filler may then be used if additional treatment is needed for further improving the infraorbital region. You would be wise to consult with an experienced, board certified cosmetic dermatologist filler expert. Be sure to ask to see his/her personal befores and afters before agreeing to proceed. Best of luck.

Answer: Lower blepharoplasty A lower blepharoplasty, assuming you have no contraindications to such a procedure, would likely b a great option. Filling the tear trough with dermal fillers (HA fillers) could be an alternative although from the photos the former is probably more suitable.

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.
