Age 36, eye dents in corners of my eyes. Can filler be placed here? (photo)

Question

Hi, As I am ageing I have developed dents on the corner of my eyes, I am guessing due to volume loss. Can filler replaced here or is it too close to eye? Any advice on how to improve this area and my eye area in general. Dark shadows are due to thin skin and veins. I can't have under eye filler as I hold water here. Thank you

Yes it is possible to have filler in this area but it does come with increased risks.  For the under eye area you may want to consider Morpheus8 which combines RF technology with microneedling to improve overall skin tone and texture.  We always recommend using medical grade skin care products like Transform MD and wearing sunscreen every day.  See an experienced injector near you for an evaluation.

When considering dermal fillers for the eye area, it is essential to proceed with caution due to the delicate nature of the skin and underlying structures. Fillers can be used to address volume loss in the periorbital area, including the corners of the eyes, but this procedure should only be performed by a qualified and experienced medical professional, such as a dermatologist or plastic surgeon.

For the specific concerns you mentioned:

Dents in the Corners of the Eyes: Fillers can potentially be used to smooth out these areas, but the proximity to the eye requires precise technique to avoid complications. An in-person consultation with a dermatologist would be necessary to assess the suitability of fillers for your specific situation.

Dark Shadows: These are often due to thin skin and visible veins, as you mentioned. While fillers can sometimes help by adding volume and reducing shadows, other treatments like laser therapy or topical treatments might be considered to improve skin thickness and appearance.

Water Retention Under the Eyes: If you tend to hold water in this area, your dermatologist might suggest alternative treatments to fillers, such as laser treatments, chemical peels, or topical products that can help improve skin texture and tone without adding volume.

It's important to have a thorough discussion with a dermatologist who can evaluate your skin in person and recommend the most appropriate treatment plan tailored to your needs.
