What are my options to repair suddenly hollow eyes?

Question

I have normal, actually very good, thyroid levels but do have Hashimotos. Only slightly elevated antibodies though. I've had bad eye problems for several years so my oculoplastic surgeon put me on Tepezza which was supposed to help that. But within a month of that my eyes became completely hollowed out. I stopped the medication and in three months it hasn't gotten better. What are my options to repair this? I look ill but also it's hard to blink and affects my eye movement.

Hi Omegan,
You should speak with your eye physician.  I would treat you will a combination of injectable fillers, Restylane under your eyes and Voluma in your cheeks.  Please feel free to contact us to schedule a virtual or in person consultation at your convenience.  Good luck and be well.

fillers and skincare can help. plasma pen and lasers can tighten the area. start dermarolling now at home.

at home peels like cosmelan, enlighten and aerify along with dermarolling (emerageskin 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, lasers, microneedling/PRP, cosmelan peels, and microneedling RF like Fractora 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.  I suggest you get a formal consultation to see what is best for you and your goals.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for your question! I would suggest doing two syringes of volbella for your under eye area. It is difficult to tell from the photos but sometimes pairing under eye filler with cheek filler helps support the under eye area as well. Hope this helps!

Hi there. So the hollows are due to decreased collagen formation. In order to increase collagen formation, you can try : a good night routine, black/ green tea bags , creams that may promote collagen formation, a good diet and filler done by an expert (as it is a very sensitive area).

Fillers injected into the cheeks and tear trough can help plump the area around the eyes to help disguise the hollows. I recommend seeing your local, experienced injector and getting a full consultation to determine what is best for you.Best,Caity
