I have recently met with 2 skilled plastic surgeons in the area for my under eye hollows. Both are against filler in the under eye area. However, one surgeons says I don't need surgery but that the laser will tighten the skin and reduce the hollowing. The other is saying surgery is necessary. There are just so many different opinions out there on the different procedures so I wanted to get some feed back on this by including a couple of close up pictures so that I feel comfortable with my choice.

Answer: Non-incisional laser and volume is probably your best option. Hello there- you bring up a very good question at the heart of the lower lid rejuvenation debate. The debate includes issues such as Fillers vs surgery and laser vs fat transfer. It would be very helpful if you posted this question with photos showing your face in repose. Smiling hides many of the lower eyelid – cheek aging changes. The current photos demonstrate skin aging changes and probably some more eyelid – cheek interface volume loss. Without being able to see your face with muscles relaxed, it is difficult to make definitive suggestions. As a rule of thumb, if you are unsure of how to proceed, you should proceed with the least invasive option. Fillers are reversible and allow you to "try on" volume rejuvenation before proceeding with anything definitive. I hope this is helpful – good luck. Many of us would be able to give you more information with more photos.

Answer: Eyes If you are unhappy with some hollowness, then IMO, fillers conservatively placed may be the solution. If you have loose skin or herniated fat, then surgery would be good. A combo of both may be necessary.
