How are hollow under-eyes treated?

Hollow under-eyes are tear-trough and lid–cheek grooves caused by volume loss with age, genetics or previous surgery, which cast shadows and make the face look tired. Pure hollows respond to micro-dosed hyaluronic-acid filler or micro/nano-fat grafting; hollows combined with eye bags are best corrected by fat repositioning with lower blepharoplasty. Skin boosters, PRP and laser improve thin skin. Non-surgical treatment takes 20–40 minutes with 0–3 days downtime; surgery takes 60–120 minutes with about 7–10 days social downtime.

Your treatment journey

  1. Consultation & imaging

    Assessment of hollow depth, bags, skin thickness and midface support.

  2. Plan & quote

    Technique selection, combination options, recovery timeline and a clear quote.

  3. Surgery day

    Precise technique under local anesthesia with sedation; usually same-day discharge.

  4. Aftercare & checks

    Cooling, head elevation, stitch removal at day 5–7 if applicable and scheduled follow-ups.

Recovery timeline

  • Non-surgical, 0–3 days: mild swelling or bruising
  • Surgery, days 1–7: swelling peaks then settles; stitches out if any
  • Week 2: socially comfortable after surgery
  • Months 3–6: final contour; fat graft settles

Aftercare tips

  • Avoid pressing or massaging after filler
  • Sleep slightly elevated for the first nights
  • Avoid saunas, alcohol and heavy exercise (48 hours after filler, about 2 weeks after surgery)
  • Use daily sun protection

Risks & considerations

Filler: swelling, lumps, bluish Tyndall effect, migration, rare vascular events. Fat: uneven take, need for touch-up. Surgery: swelling, asymmetry, contour irregularity and rarely revision.

Frequently asked questions

Will filler make my under-eyes puffy?

Not with micro-doses, deep placement and staged sessions.

Is fat grafting permanent?

A portion of grafted fat survives long-term; touch-ups are sometimes needed.

Which is better — filler or fat?

Filler is quick and reversible; fat is longer-lasting and improves skin quality but needs a small harvest.

What if I also have eye bags?

Fat repositioning is usually better than adding volume on top of bags.

How soon can I fly?

Often within a few days after filler; about 7–10 days after surgery.
