Put an End to Hollow Eyes

Credit: Thinkstock
We talk a lot about reducing under-eye puffiness, but we know that some of you suffer from another issue: eyes that look sunken and hollow, especially for those who have more slender faces. However, there is help for those who may be genetically predisposed to hollow eyes or have lost soft tissue and bone density, which can make the eyes appear sunken.

Filler fix: At the first signs of hollowing, a filler such as hyaluronic acid or fat can help to fill in the spots that appear in the tear troughs. Hyaluronic acid is effective in filling deficient areas under the eyes when it is injected deep into the tissue.

Product fix: Applying cucumber slices and products with vitamin C can reduce the dark circles that sometimes accompany eye hollowing. Retinol is a good ingredient to help the fragile skin become stronger, and humectants will add a bit of a plumping effect under the eyes. If you find that you have dark circles too, a prescription of hydroquinone can help to lighten up under-eye shadows.

Permanent fix: A lower eyelift or blepharoplasty surgery can remove any loose skin under the eyes that makes hollowing look worse, and the fat can be repositioned or added to smooth out the sunken skin. Since hollowing can occur in the upper eyes as well, upper-eyelid blepharoplasty can be effective there, too.http://www.newbeauty.com/hottopic/blogpost/5915-put-an-end-to-hollow-eyes/
