Upper eyelid hollowness is a dramatically underappreciated, yet incredibly important component of aging in the eyelids. With normal aging, our upper eyelid fat pads tend to retract and expose this upper lid hollowness, those with “deep set eyes“ are especially prone, and unfortunately old-school upper eyelid surgery that is overly subtractive can artificially create this hollowness early, actually looking worse than it did before surgery - the before and after photo in the link below resulted from overly subtractive upper eyelid surgery with another surgeon, and you can see the results after revolumization of the upper lids. Correcting this hollowness can happen with fat or filler injections into very specific planes of the upper eyelid, or transposing and rearranging the upper eyelid fat pads to provide fullness, as you see in this surgeon’s view video, borrowing the excess fat to move into the areas lacking fullness!The cost of course will depend on the treatment you choose, but filler tends to range right around $1000.      
To ensure you are receiving the highest level of care, seek out a modernly trained, new-school dermatologic surgeon, oculoplastic surgeon, facial plastic surgeon or plastic surgeon who is board certified and fellowship trained in one of these “core four” cosmetic specialties. Membership in organizations like the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery help to identify a highly trained surgeon.

This area is very sensitive so consider injections only by someone well trained and who uses cannulas.  I suggest an expert, and price will be dependent on who does the injections and the location of the conuntry (ie overhead of practice).  Best, Dr. Emer.

Filler in the upper lid can sometimes help with deeply set
eyes but not always.  You are correct in
thinking that something temporary is where to start.

The temporary filler like Juvederm and Restylane are
hyaluronic acids (a naturally occurring sugar that attracts water) that are absorbed
over 6 to 12 months.  It is slow
absorption so the disappearance is gradual.  The price is variable but you can check the prices for your area right here on RealSelf.

If that works and you like the results you can easily switch
to a long term filler like Bellafill.

I hope that helps.

Best regards.
