Dermal fillers can gently inflate the area under the eye to either soften the hollowing or lessen the darkness by thickening up the layers between the darker underlying muscle and the thin skin overlying the muscle.
In effect, it replaces the missing subcutaneous fat that has lessened over time with the retraction and thinning of the underlying fat pad. It also can smooth the sharp demarcation between the bulging bag under the eye and the adjoining skin, which softens the junction between the two areas. The exact amount of water absorption in this arrives difficult to predict and therefore we do try to advise all patients to underfill, as an improvement, not ‘perfection’ can only be expected.
