Yes, under eye hollowness is largely due to fat atrophy (fat loss) in the cheeks as we age. Use of dermal fillers can be very helpful for this but needs to be done by an experienced injector. I prefer Radiesse for this area as it is a robust filler with long lasting results.

Dermal fillers work great here! This is truly my favorite place to inject,
because it really adds a subtle, youthful look to almost anyone.

Dermal fillers can be used VERY CAREFULLY under the eyes. You need to have
someone very experienced injecting the product. I personally do not do this
injection under the eyes.
You can get lumpiness , over correction and a blue hue to the skin.

Yes, fillers can be used to correct hollowing under the eyes as well
as tear troughs. I prefer to use Restylane in this area as Juverderm
can cause a little puffiness in about 10 to 15% of cases. I do not
like Radiesse in this area as it can be sometimes be seen because it
is white and the skin is very thin. The injections should be placed
right on the surface of the bone. This will give smoother results and
tends to last longer when compared to superficial injections.

Yes, most hyaluronic acid fillers are used "off label" in this region which we refer to as the 'tear trough'. Examples are Prevelle, Juvederm, and Restylane dermal fillers.
