Figure 1. — Characteristics of the infraorbital hollow. (A) Orbital bone and deep midfacial fat pads support the tear trough contour and provide a continuous plane with the lid-cheek junction. (B) Orbital bone resorption and atrophy or loss of mid-facial fat pad volume contribute to the infraorbital hollow, extending to span the lid-cheek junction. (C) Independent of these effects, fat herniation of the infraorbital fat pad can also occur above the hollow, which differentiates a surgical vs nonsurgical correction.
