Genetic deep under-eye hollows - am I candidate for a blepharoplasty or filler? (photos)

Asked By:Redwoods101 in San Francisco, California

I've had a deep hollow in my under eye since a teen, but now the hollows extend to more of my cheek laterally. I've seen a lot of scary things about tear trough filler and the "congential ligament" in people like me that make me wonder if filler could address this problem (I really don't want a super full cheek/pillow face), or if blephleroplasty is an option? I don't have much of a bag or fat to transfer for surgery. Is it too early for surgery yet (42yo)? Am I a good candidate for filler?
