How to Repairs my Hallow/sunken Eyes? (photo)

This is a great question, and one that is commonly asked and sought out in consultation. That hollow area beneath your eye, near your nose, is called a nasojugal groove or a "tear trough." They can often extend laterally, toward your temples and the outside of your eye, as an orbitomalar groove. This can become more prominent with age, but often do exist in younger patients with a genetic predisposition. The underlying cause is often both soft tissue and bone related.Fortunately, there are good options for correction. In the past, implants in this area had been very popular, but the current trend in cosmetics is that implants are being replaced with fillers that have significantly longer durations and better outcomes. Fillers have the main benefits of very little risk when compared with the surgical procedure of an implant and the long-term complications that all too often force those implants to get removed. Fillers also cost a fraction as much.You may hear a debate from some surgeons about fat transfer versus fillers, but the reality is that fat transfer is unpredictable, even in the best hands. Hyaluronic acid fillers provide a very consistent volume and result. Newer fillers last significantly longer, with very high patient satisfaction when used in this area.Seek out a consultation from somebody with experience. Read: beware, not everybody has the knowledge and skill set necessary to deal with this area. All too often I am dissolving filler from other injectors who have chosen the wrong product or the wrong patient to inject in the periorbital area. The ability to be dissolved is another benefit of filler in this area, as it can often be sculpted and corrected to achieve the natural appearance desired.To ensure you are receiving the highest level of care, seek out a dermatologic surgeon, oculoplastic surgeon, facial plastic surgeon or plastic surgeon who is board certified and fellowship trained in one of these "core four" cosmetic specialties.

Great question and one that is commonly asked. you appear to have volume loss under your eyes in the tear trough area- so my common treatment approach to this area is fillers. You have two options for fillers, one is a temporary injectable- I commonly use Belotero injections in this area (please see my before and after pictures under belotero)- which gives natural results lasting 3-6 months. Your other option is fat transfer to the area, which also produces natural long lasting results when done well. (Refer to my before and after pictures for fat transfer). Hope this helps. 

At home peels like cosmelan, enlighten and aerify along with dermarolling (MTS roller with anteage MD ampules) should be started now. There are many things you can do to treat under eye hollows and dark circles. A surgical option to remove skin and/or fat will such as lower eyelid blepharoplasty with or without fat pad repositioning will be the best long term. There are many things you can do to treat under eye hollows and dark circles without surgery. Non invasive less downtime options such as fillers (Belotero, Juvederm Volbella​), lasers (Moxi/Halo/Fraxel/CO2​), Renuvion (J-Plasma), microneedling/PRP, stem cells and microneedling RF like Fractora PiXel8 or Morpheus can all help give some improvement. Accutite can often be used or stronger lasers like erbium or co2 spot treatment can tighten the skin and give very quick improvement in wrinkles and texture. A surgical option to remove skin and/or fat might be the best solution long-term. I suggest you get a formal consultation to see what is best for you and your goals. Best, Dr. Emer.

As an ASOPRS trained surgeon, our practice commonly sees patients with upper eye and under eye hollows, and a proper evaluation should first be performed to rule out any concerning causes.
We can improve these hollows with filler injections, fat injections, or facial implants. 
Each of these treatment options have their risks and benefits, and we review these with our patients in detail. 
We have also helped many patients who have not had satisfactory outcomes elsewhere.

The eyes are perhaps the most important and central feature of ones face. Sunken eyes can give the appearance of fatigue and aging. Certain fillers can be artfully placed in a way to alleviate that sunken appearance and rejuvenate your eyes. These fillers are only temporary and would require repeated treatments to keep the appearance. 

The area under your eyes can be treated by using fillers.  They work by adding volume to disguise under eye irregularities.  The procedures is done in the office and the results last up to one year.  Fillers also work well with other treatments such as microneedling, chemical peels, and lasers to improve overall skin tone and texture.  I also recommend patients use medical grade skin care products and sunscreen every day.
