Superior sunken sulcus at only 28 years old - is upper eyelid filler my only treatment option? (photos)

January 18, 2023
Asked By:lenabaca

Since about two years I've noticed that my periorbital hollows have gotten quite deep and interestingly are deeper on the days where I get only little sleep. Some days they seem to be "filled out" a bit more. I am aware that the fat pad above the eye decreases as we age but does this really already happen at 28 years of age? Is the only treatment upper eyelid filler or are there altenatives? Thank you very much in advance
