Age 21, how to improve puffy, 'detached' under-eye structure? (Photos)

Question

I’m currently 21 and I’ve always had deep under-eye areas which i don’t really mind but I notice that from a certain point of view my under-eye areas are actually puffy and look “detached” in a way from my cheekbones. Is there a way a can improve this issue (messages or even surgery) ? Thank you.

From your photo it appears your concerns can be addressed with fillers.  This will give a more unified look at the under eye/cheek transition.  See an expert injector near you for treatment.

What you have is low attachment of the molar muscles with a depression between where the muscle originates and the orbital rim. This leaves a depression. Treatment is a heavy filler into the depression on the bone. By replacing the missing muscle, the depression is eliminated and the area no longer looks "detached."
