Hello.

This is Saiga from BIANCA CLINIC.

 

Double eyelid surgery is a popular procedure that dramatically changes the appearance of the eye area, but the final result and overall impression can vary significantly depending on whether you have a "hollow above the eye."

This time,For those concerned about hollows above the eyesWe will discuss the causes of sunken upper eyelids and the available treatment options.

 

 

The impression created by the hollows above the eyes

If your eyes are set deep in your face, people may get this impression.

 

  • Her entire face looks gaunt.

  • He looks tired.

  • Often perceived as older than their actual age

 

Some people find themselves constantly self-conscious whenever they look in the mirror, lacking confidence and avoiding being in front of others.

However,By correctly identifying the cause, you can find a solution for sunken areas above the eyes.

There are three main causes of hollows above the eyes.

 

 

Causes of Hollows Above the Eyes ①| Reduction in Fat or Volume

💉BELOTERO SOFT (Upper Eyelid) 1ml

The most common cause of hollows above the eyes isFat loss due to aging or weight changesis.

When the fat inside the eyelids diminishes, the upper eyelids become sunken, and the hollows become more noticeable.

In this case,hyaluronic acid injectionorFat injectionby supplementing the volume.

I personally recommend hyaluronic acid injections.

 

The reasons are as follows:

 

  • Low risk of lumps

  • Short downtime

  • Easy to control (fine-tune) the treatment

In this case, BELOTERO SOFT was injected into the upper eyelid.

You should be able to see that the indentation has become less noticeable immediately after the treatment.

Causes of Hollows Above the Eyes ②|Sagging Skin or Excess Skin

⚠️Risks: Infection, asymmetry, scarring, etc.

 

When there is significant skin laxity, even mild volume loss can make hollows appear pronounced.

This type is suitable forBrow LiftDouble eyelid line tightening.

In this case where the hollows were prominent due to excess skin, we opted for a brow lift.

The natural improvement in how well your eyelids open has brightened the overall impression of your eye area.

 

 

Cause of Eye Socket Hollows #3|Weakness in Eye Opening (Levator Muscle Function)

💉Anesthesia: Local anesthesia
😷DT: Swelling and bruising for about 10 days
🏥 Suture removal: None
⚠️Risks: Lumps, exposed sutures, asymmetry, infection, etc.

The third type is one with weak eyelid opening (ptosis).

If the muscles that lift the eyelids are weak, the double eyelid line becomes shallow, resulting in a more pronounced hollow appearance.

In this case, the approach we propose is as follows.

 

  • Eyelid ptosis surgery to improve eye opening

  • Normalize the indentation of the double line

  • Reduce skin sagging

 

This is a case of non-incisional ptosis correction (MT method). This is the appearance 3 months post-surgery.

You've achieved a more youthful look around your eyes.

 

Summary|Addressing sunken areas above the eyes requires identifying the "cause" and determining the "appropriate solution"!

The hollow above the eye,The optimal treatment varies depending on the cause.

Fat reduction, skin laxity, muscle issues— During your consultation, we'll work together to determine which areas to address to achieve your ideal eye contour.
