If you have had significant weight loss, you have also lost the fat in your face.  So you would most likely benefit from a fat transfer.  You may also have laxity of the skin and may also need to do some sort of a face and or eyelid surgery.

The best way to fill in areas where there has been loss of volume is usually through injection of fat (that is taken from your abdomen or thighs) into the hollowed out areas.  Other options are synthetic fillers or implants.  Give us a call if you would like to discuss in person.  Good luck!
