Eyes are sunken and deep set - is there any surgery that will help improve appearance? (photos)

Question

My eyes are sunken and deepset, my eyebrows bone is very prominent to the extent some times i feel like it’s a weight over my eyes. My eyes look ugly and old specially from side and when closed. Is there is any surgery or thing to be done to make it appears better

Hello @MMFMohamed, thank you for your question. The surgery would not be performed by a plastic surgeon. Instead, you would have to see a specialist together with a neurologist. I suggest you consult an expert in the field. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for your question and for providing photos. While there isn’t a cosmetic approach to address the prominent bone you’re referring to, you may benefit from dermal fillers to volumize the area around the eyes and reduce the sunken appearance you describe.
Dermal fillers contain hyaluronic acid that can add subtle volume to targeted areas of the face for results that last for approximately 6-12 months, depending on the formula used. I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified injector who can assess your aesthetic goals and suggest the best course of action for you.

You have a real;atively uncommon lack of subcutaneous or deep fat in the upper lids. The only correction is to fill the area. This can be done with filler, though I would not suggest it. I usually treat this area with fat grafting. However, because of the anatomy with lack of significant tissue with adequate blood supply into which to place the fat, this usually takes several sessions about 4 months apart. Make sure you see a very experienced plastic surgeon with knowledge of the anatomy and fat grafting as this area is tricky and can be dangerous in lesser hands.
