Under Eye Hallows

I am a 17 year old female and since a very young age have had deep hallows beneath my eyes. This problem is genetic, as i have inherited it from my mother. They begin from the inner corners of my eyes and slant diagonally toward the top of my cheeks. I understand that these aren't the same thing as under eye circles and therefore have not been able to find skin creams to help me. I am aware that Juvéderm and Restylane can treat my problem. However, these treatments are expensive, non-permanent, and at such a young age, I do not wish to have these treatments done. Is there anything out there that can help me with this that actually lasts?! Home remedies? Creams? Any help is much appreciated!

Hello,
The most effective method to treat true orbital/eyelid hollowness is with true fat grafting. On the other hand, cheek hollowness may be treated with a wide variety of techniques like fat injection, midface lift , the placement of synthetic implants and injection of temporary commercial filler substances. Please discuss these options of treatment with a plastic surgeon/cosmetologist.
I hope it helps. Take care and please do keep me posted in case you have any additional doubts. Kind regards.
