1 year ago I had upper and lower bleph. The upper lids came out very nice but under my eyes look hollow. It makes me look old. I didn't have that before the surgery. My doctor suggested having a filler put in the tear through area. I told her I can not afford to have that done because I am disabled and can only work 2 days a week. She was understanding and said she would only charge me what she pays for the filler. So I am going to save up for it to be done. Can anyone tell me what fillers they have had in the tear through area and how your results were.?

It has been 1 year since my eyelid surgery I am happy with the upper lids but not happy with the lower lids, I have hollowness under my eyes . In the future I would like to have a filler put in the tear through area. For now I try to hide it with makeup. Since the surgery my vision is much better. I feel that the heaviness of my upper lids were affecting my vision.

It has been 10 months since my upper and lower blepharoplasty. My lower lid droop has gotten better with time. The dryness in the eyes has also gotten a lot better. Every now and then my eyes dry out and I have to use eye drops. I am happy with the results except for the hollowness under my eyes. My doctor said I need fillers for that. I can not afford that so it looks like I am stuck with them the way they are. In general my eyes look better now than before the surgery. They look more open and youthful.
