What are sunken eye fillers?

Sunken eye fillers restore volume to hollow upper eyelids (superior sulcus) and lower-lid tear troughs that develop with age, weight loss or after eyelid surgery. Small amounts of reversible hyaluronic-acid filler are layered deep with a cannula, or micro/nano-fat is grafted for longer-lasting volume. Treatment takes about 20–40 minutes, swelling usually lasts 24–72 hours and HA lasts about 6–18 months. When hollowness follows earlier surgery, fat grafting or revision may be better.

Why choose Sinsa L for sunken eye fillers

  • Whole eyelid unit — crease, lid margin, corners and brow considered so volume looks natural.
  • Layered, micro-dosed technique — cannula-first, deep placement to avoid lumps and Tyndall effect.
  • Safety culture — vascular mapping, conservative dosing and hyaluronidase on hand.
  • International-friendly — English support, remote photo consults, transparent quotes and travel-aware scheduling near Sinsa Station.

Who is a good candidate?

  • A deep upper-lid sulcus that makes the eyes look tired or older
  • Under-eye hollows without significant bags
  • Hollowness after previous eyelid surgery
  • Wanting a non-surgical or minimally invasive option
  • Good general health

Will I look puffy?

Volumes are kept small and layered; staged touch-ups prevent overfilling.
