Is there a way to thicken the pretarsal orbicularis oculi muscle under the eye? (Photos)

June 1, 2019
Asked By:JudyTrudy in Seattle, WA

I used a device underneath my eye a while back and I think it thinned out or caused damage to the pretarsal muscle immediately surrounding my eye, especially my left eye, causing them to look older and atrophied. Is there any way I can get that back, through surgery or strengthen it somehow? Thanks.
