The fat in my eyelid is just disappearing and getting worst everyday. Any suggestions?

Question

THE FAT in my left eyelid keeps disappearing. Literally everyday it looks dramatically worst than it did the day before. I have eczema on my eyelid and i ACCIDENTALLY USED steroids for years!! ANYWAY I stopped using the cream a long time ago and its just continuously getting worst. I've been applying EYE GEL that's suppose to help repair the skin. But IT LOOKS SO BAD NOW! I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ANYMORE. My left eyelid is now starting to pull skin from my nose.

Difficult to comment without seeing photos but you may want to consider either fat or filler injection around the eyes. See link below.

Hello,Fat loss around the eyes is a normal part of aging. Most of the time, the cheek tissues descend and the lack of volume over the rim of bone under your eyes can look like volume loss. This in combination with the bags under the eyes at the level of the eyelids can make your eyes look tired and gaunt.  There are many procedures that can be performed for these problems but they all depend on your specific problem. I recommend seeking the advice of a board certified Facial Plastic Surgeon who specializes only on the face.Best Regards,J. Phillip Garcia, M.D.

Without a photograph or more medical history, it is hard to know precisely what your issue are.  For example individuals who use prostaglandin based glaucoma drops are at risk for periocular fat atrophy related to the use of the drop.  There can be other localized issues as well contributing to this type of atrophy.  An assessment by a board certified ophthalmologist is a very good place to start.

Fat atrophy around the eyes is part of the aging process and contrary to most people believes, it can be noticeable as early as in your 20's.Hyaluronic acid fillers for under eye hollowness or fat grafting to the areas around your eye can help significantly with this problem.Injections around your eye have to be performed by an injector with the appropriate training as they require a more in-depth knowledge of the periorbital anatomy to avoid complications. I hope this was helpful. Good luck!
