I'm a 24 year old women with deep valleys under eyes. Options? (photos)

Question

Good Afternoon doc, i am 24 yrs old woman. i want to tell you that there is a deep valley like hole between my lower eyelid and my cheekbone. i've always had eyebags but it used to be no valley, but whenever i look at the mirror recently the valley is visible, it makes me look older and look tired. im so stressed about it because "im not looking good anymore". why is that happening doc? what should i do? is there anyway to get rid of it without filler because i can't afford it.

thank you for your question and photos. The best option for you would be filler to the lower eyelids. There is nothing else that I know if that will address your issue.

Dark under eye circles can make you look tired and older than you are. I would use a combination protocol that includes topical Melarase creams first, followed by a combination of injectable fillers, fractional laser, and RF to blend out the eyelid hollowness and tighten the skin.

Under eye hollows can be permanently corrected with surgery or temporarily camouflaged with fillers (Restylane, Belotero, Volbella) which can also help nasolabial folds.There are great non-surgical options to fill in under eye depressions and hollowness. Using dermal fillers, a liquid eye-lift can be performed. A dermal filler such as Restylane would be placed in the cheek and tear trough to hide the depression or bag underneath your eye. 
Surgery would require a fat-repositioning lower lid blepharoplasty. In this surgical procedure, fat from the eye area is moved into the tear trough depression filling the actual depression. 
I hope this helps!

A combination approach will give the most improvement. Fillers, lasers, and microneedling/PRP can improve under the eyes. My patients try to get non surgical treatments to avoid surgery. We use PRP and stem cells there often. I suggest consulting with an expert to develop a treatment plan best suited for your short and long term goals. Best, Dr. Emer

Filler would be a great option for you to help even out the area under the eyes.  The treatment is done in the office and the results last up to one year.  Eye creams may help improve tone and texture around the eye, but they will not be effective at adding the needed volume.  See an experienced injector in your area to learn more.
