I had my lower lids done 4 years ago. Too much fat was removed. The hollow appearance of my eyes make my face look sunkin in and old. I also have excessive wrinkles under my eyes now. I was told by my surgeon to "be patient", that my eyes would not look the way I anticipated for at least a year. He lied. I have been to at least 6 surgeons since my surgery to see what I should do to get my face back. I have been turned away by all of them. Apparently it is not possible to fix my problem. I regret having the surgery EVERY DAY!

Consider juvederm or other fillers for the hollowness. Also, consider laser treatment under the eyes to minimize wrinkles and stimulate collagen growth.

Inquire about getting fat injected to minimise the hollowness. Apparently it can be effective. Good Luck.

Every surgeon that i have seen since my bleph has told me that my skin is too thin for fat injections. I will probably end up looking worse. My only hope is a lift (I hope). Symmetry is a problem tho...

I had lower blepharplasty on July 29, 2007 to have bags removed. Thankfuly my eyes look great!! I was very clear when I told the Dr. to be careful, I didn't want to end up with ptosis or have a different shape. I remember the Dr. told me to look up and open my mouth as she was ready to begin the surgery, and she pinched just a bit of skin to know exactly how much to excise, she told me she was only going to take a bit of fat as to prevent hollownes. I feel lucky due to so many devastating problems outhere!!

i had Restalyne injected under my eyes for the same problem and it worked like a dream.. every day my eye hollowness was getting worse after the surgery. i finally did the Resalyne and it's made a world of difference. if it's hollowness only underneath your eyes, I see no reason why that couldn't be a fix for you. and you can go to someone other than a PS for this procedure... i go to an estitician (sp?) who does my botox. she did the Resalyne too, and couple not have done a finer job... HUGE diff!
