Improving Sunken Eyes with Hyaluronic Acid Injections | Explaining the Differences Between Injections and Surgery, and Who Qualifies
With deep medical insight cultivated as an internal medicine specialist, I bridge aesthetic surgery, dermatology, and internal medicine. Having spent my childhood in China, I communicate fluently in Japanese, Chinese, English, and Korean. Possessing an international perspective—evidenced by invitations to present at overseas conferences—I actively promote techniques as a Key Opinion Leader (KOL) for GOURI and REJURAN®. My specialty procedures include double eyelid surgery, skin-nurturing boosters, and body hyaluronic acid treatments. My approach leverages the holistic understanding of the body cultivated through internal medicine to guide patients toward natural, healthy beauty.
For those concerned about sunken eyes and considering hyaluronic acid injections.
This time, Dr. Senki Akashi of BIANCA CLINIC will briefly explain the causes of sunken eyes, how much change can be expected from hyaluronic acid injections, and how they differ from surgery.
"I feel like my sunken eyes make me look older." "I want to improve the tired look around my eyes."If you're struggling with this, please give it a read.
Sunken eyes can be addressed with hyaluronic acid!
Hollows under the eyes (commonly known as “sunken eyes”) can be filled with hyaluronic acid injections to create a fuller, more youthful appearance.
Hyaluronic acid injections offer minimal downtime and allow you to see changes as the treatment progresses, making them an accessible option even for those new to aesthetic medicine.
What causes sunken eyes?
The three main causes of sunken eyes are as follows:
・Reduction of orbital fat due to aging
・Fat loss due to rapid weight loss or excessive dieting
・Skeletal structure and genetic factors
Even people who felt their eyelids were heavy when they were young may develop sunken eyes after their thirties.
When sunken eyes make it difficult to open them fully, the entire eye area tends to look tired.
Many people find that their sunken eyes become more noticeable in the evening.
Treatment for Sunken Eyes｜Injection Therapy and Surgery

If sunken eyes are caused by eyelid structure, double eyelid suture surgery or ptosis surgery may also be an option.
・Double Buried MethodBy setting the double eyelid line deeper, it supports the opening of eyes that have become difficult to open due to deep-set eyes.
・Ptosis SurgeryThis surgery adjusts the function of the upper eyelid muscles to ensure the eyelid lifts properly.

Combining hyaluronic acid injections with surgery is also effective for treating sunken eyes.
Attempting to improve hollows solely with hyaluronic acid injections may sometimes cause the eyelids to feel heavy.
In such cases, Bianca Clinic may also recommend combining hyaluronic acid injections with double eyelid suture surgery.
