Lower eyelid hollowing and tear trough deformity following surgery often indicate structural disruption rather than isolated volume loss.
Displacement or excessive removal of orbital fat, weakening of lower eyelid support, and scarring along the orbital rim can deepen the tear trough and exaggerate shadowing beneath the eyes.
Simply adding filler in these cases may temporarily camouflage the defect but frequently worsens long-term contour irregularity, edema, or eyelid instability.
Dr. Ahn corrects lower eyelid hollowing by redistributing remaining tissue, restoring eyelid support structures, and re-establishing smooth transitions between the lower eyelid and cheek.
This structural approach allows for natural contour restoration while preserving eyelid function and long-term stability.
