I have a deep horizontal line under both my eyes. They are there when I smile. And because they are getting deeper, they stay when I don't smile too. Is it my cheeks that are causing this problem? What are my options?

Answer: Lower blepharoplasty with pinch for horizontal lines under eyes The horizontal wrinkles underneath the eyelids can be addressed through a pinch technique on the lower blepharoplasty. This is usually done in conjunction at the same time as the fat removal from the lower lids. The incision for the lower lids is made after a lash line and is nearly invisible within a month after the procedure. This usually gets rid of lines close to the lash line, but if the wrinkle is more than a quarter of an inch below the lash line it may not be able to be removed.

Answer: Treatment for Deep Horizontal Lines Under the Eyes The deep line that you're describing sounds to me like your lid/cheek junction. This occurs at the lower orbital rim. It is accentuated by pseudoherniation of fat in the lower lids (bags) and descent of the cheek fat. Smiling will make it worse. Fixes can be temporary such as with fillers-Radiesse is good for this. Fat can be useful as well. But likely you are headed toward lower lid surgery and/or surgery for cheek elevation.

Answer: Muscle contraction or arcus deformity can cause horizontal line under eyes Many people with active orbicularis oculi muscles have an exagerated line beneath the eyelid when smiling--Botox can help but not eliminate this line.
