What are sunken eyes?
Sunken eyes, also called hollow eyes, have a recessed appearance in the under-eye area, sometimes coupled with dark circles and thin, delicate skin.
This condition can result from various factors, including the natural aging process, which leads to collagen and midface volume loss, as well as dehydration, allergies, or chronic lack of sleep.
Sometimes hollow undereyes can be coupled with puffiness or “undereye bags”. These result from the natural aging process, when the naturally occurring fat pads pooch forwards out of the eye socket to create “bags”.
These changes can create shadows and a tired or aged look. Treatments like dermal fillers or eyelid surgery can restore volume and rejuvenate the area, but “bags” may require other treatments.
Causes of Sunken Eyes
The hollow appearance of sunken eyes results from a variety of factors, often related to lifestyle, health, or natural aging. Common causes include:
- Aging, which leads to collagen and volume loss in the under-eye area.
- Chronic dehydration, making the skin appear thin and hollow.
- Allergies and sinus issues, which can cause puffiness and discoloration.
- Lack of sleep, contributing to a tired and recessed appearance.
Recognizing these causes is essential to exploring treatments like hyaluronic acid fillers and eyelid surgery for rejuvenation.
Signs of Sunken Eyes
Recognizing the signs of sunken eyes is crucial to determine suitable treatments. Key indicators include:
- Dark circles under the eyes, contributing to a tired appearance.
- Hollowing in the under-eye area, especially around the tear trough.
- Thin-looking skin under the eyes, which can make the area appear more recessed.
- Shadows beneath the lower eyelids, accentuating a sunken look.
- An overall tired or fatigued look on your face, even when well-rested.
Identifying the causes of under eye aging helps to select solutions like hyaluronic acid fillers, biostimulating injectables or eyelid surgery to restore volume, address bags and improve the overall appearance.

How Filler Injections Can Help with Sunken Eyes
Dermal fillers work by providing volume to the tear trough area. They can also attract and retain water to restore and fill the sunken tear trough area.
Biostimulating injectables, such as platelet-rich fibrin extracted from a patients’ own blood, can be mixed with a gel matrix to help provide volume to the hollow undereyes. Platelet-rich fibrin is a serum packed with growth factors that can help stimulate collagen production in the undereye.
With minimal downtime and immediate effects, these injectables can provide an effective, science-backed solution for rejuvenating hollow eyes.
Using PRZ EZ Gel As an Option for Sunken Eyes
PRZ EZ Gel is an innovative treatment derived from the patient’s own blood, offering a natural and biocompatible option for rejuvenating the under-eye area. The process involves extracting growth factors and proteins to create a gel-like substance that stimulates collagen production and improves skin elasticity.
When injected into the tear troughs, it addresses volume loss and enhances hydration, effectively reducing the appearance of sunken eyes, dark circles, and fine lines.
This treatment stands out for its minimal risk of allergic reactions or adverse side effects since it uses autologous material. PRZ EZ Gel provides a more holistic and regenerative approach.
Over time, it promotes skin health and restores a refreshed, youthful look by targeting the root causes of hollow eyes, such as collagen depletion and tissue thinning.
Results are subtle yet long-lasting, making it a sought-after option for patients seeking natural-looking improvements.
Benefits of Dermal Fillers for Sunken Under Eyes
Dermal fillers offer multiple benefits for addressing sunken under eyes, improving both appearance and volume. These advantages include:
- Restoring volume to hollow eyes, effectively reducing a sunken appearance and enhancing under-eye skin texture.
- Addressing dark circles and wrinkles while improving hydration with treatments like tear trough fillers.
- Providing immediate results with minimal downtime and long-lasting effects.
- Complementing other cosmetic procedures for enhanced rejuvenation.
- Offering customizable options for various cosmetic concerns, including eye wrinkles, a hollow look, and overall facial aesthetics.
By choosing non-surgical or surgical procedures, patients achieve a refreshed, youthful appearance while effectively maintaining skin health and addressing cosmetic concerns.
Enhance Results with Botox
Combining Botox with dermal fillers can amplify the results of under-eye treatments. The benefits of using Botox include:
- Smoothing out crow’s feet and fine lines around the eyes.
- Relaxing muscles to prevent further wrinkle development.
- Enhancing the overall rejuvenation of the eye area.
- Providing a refreshed and youthful appearance when paired with fillers.
This combination creates a comprehensive approach to addressing under-eye concerns and achieving long-lasting results.
The Dermal Filler Procedure
Dr. Kam provides a comfortable and effective dermal filler experience for treating sunken eyes. The steps include:
- Preparation for Treatment: A topical anesthetic cream is applied to the under-eye area to make certain the procedure is pain-free.
- Precise Filler Injections: Using hyaluronic acid fillers like Juvederm or Restylane, small amounts are injected to restore volume and reduce hollows.
- Shaping and Sculpting: The filler is expertly shaped to blend seamlessly with your facial features.
- Recovery and Aftercare: Patients can resume normal activities immediately, though mild swelling or bruising may occur and typically subsides within a few days. It can be helpful to avoid exercising immediately after the injection, to minimize swelling and bruising.
The procedure takes under 30 minutes, providing immediate improvements with no downtime and a rejuvenated under-eye appearance.
Alternatives to Undereye Filler
Some patients may have prominent fat pads under the eyes and are not ideal candidates for dermal fillers.
In these cases, fat excision or repositioning through lower eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) may be necessary for optimal results.
