Is it possible to correct hollows in the inner corners of the eyes? (photo)

Question

I would like to get filler around my eyes. I have read a lot about fillers and fat administered underneath the eye but never on the inner corner of the eye, near the nose, which is where my eye looks hollow and sunken-in (please see picture). Is it possible to correct that area or is this too tricky? Also, l am contemplating an upper blepharoplasty and would like to hear what doctors think about it. Would this benefit me? Thanks so much in advance!

The area you are referring to is an uncommon tricky area but filler injection can be considered. Expertise is required and best to be conservative.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

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.

Hi,
unfortunately your picture doesn't really show the condition you're referring to, probably the tear trough area and to a bilateral upper blepharochalasis (extra skin dropping on your upper eyelids)
I would need to examine in you person to be able to advise on that. 
The 'inner corner of the eye', as you described it, is a very complicated area to treat and the injections are considered " off label" (because of all the vascular structures underneath it) but, if performed by a skilled oculoplastic surgeon with experience, is usually safe.
Hope this can help.

Hi there. I can't comment specifically on your case because the image is blurry and small. However, tear trough filler can be given medially (inner aspect near the nose). I use a cannula under the muscle with a filler that is thin so to speak to treat this part of the tear trough. With this delicate method great results can be achieved. To see if you are a candidate for tear trough filler and upper blepharoplasty, you would be best served by visiting an oculoplastic surgeon who is skilled in cosmetic procedures. Hope that helps.
