How can the depression under my eyelid (but above tear trough) be filled & why doesn't it show up in soft lighting?

Asked By:Creative7153 in Washington, District of Columbia
I have been getting filler to lift my cheeks to fill in my tear troughs. However, recently, I noticed the filler was no longer correcting the hollowness under my eyes. I am now dealing with the sinking in of my eyelid above the tear trough. What can be done about this? Can filler be placed there? Do I need a SOOF lift? It is very dark in the hollowness, like there is no fat there. I have included several photos of myself/the depression and what I would like my under eye to look like. Also, Why does the darkness under my eyes show up under fluorescent lighting, but not in soft lighting? In soft/natural lighting, there is no hollowness under my eyes. When I step into fluorescent lighting, my eyes are very dark. What does this mean and what is the best approach to deal with the hollowness? Thanks.

I perform the Foxtail Lift for this exact reason. You have residual excess skin on the tail end of the upper eyelids and this is usually a direct result of a bleph that does not address the lateral tail. I would schedule in the near future and go to an expert.
