Hollow upper eyelids—often called an A‑frame deformity—are a common sign of ageing that can give a tired appearance. These changes occur as skin elasticity decreases and the natural fat pads in the upper lids diminish, creating a hollowed, shadowed appearance.
At Cosmetic Connection, we offer personalised consultations to address upper eyelid hollowness without surgery. Our goal is to understand your unique concerns and design a customised treatment plan—whether through replenishing volume, or improving skin and collagen—to rejuvenate your upper lids and deliver a naturally refreshed look.

How do treatments for upper eyelid hollows work?
Upper eyelid hollowing—also known as A-frame hollowing or sunken eyes—is a commonly overlooked sign of facial ageing. It can develop gradually due to natural fat and bone loss around the eyes, or may be present from a young age due to genetic factors. Lifestyle influences such as chronic stress, poor sleep, and smoking can also contribute to hollowness in the upper eyelids. These changes often make the eyes look tired, shadowed, and prematurely aged. In many cases, sunken upper eyelids can exaggerate the appearance of drooping brows, adding heaviness to the eye area.
If you’ve been wondering, “Can sunken eyes be reversed?” — the answer is yes. At Contour Clinics, treatments for upper eyelid hollowing are exclusively performed by our most experienced cosmetic doctors. We use advanced, non-surgical volumisation techniques to precisely restore structure in the upper eyelid area. By filling the hollows, we create a smoother, more youthful contour between the brow bone and eyelid, reducing the sunken appearance and restoring brightness to the eyes.
Treatment can also help redefine the upper eyelid crease, creating a more open, refreshed look. In addition to volumising, we may recommend skin-boosting treatments to hydrate, firm, and improve the texture of the delicate eyelid skin. These complementary approaches help address concerns like fine lines, crepiness, and dullness.
To maintain and enhance your results, a consistent at-home skincare routine is key. While topical products cannot replace volume, they help preserve hydration, improve skin suppleness, and protect against further collagen breakdown—especially with daily sun protection. Maintaining good skin quality supports the long-term benefits of your treatment, and contributes to a naturally rejuvenated appearance.
Whether you’re exploring how to fix sunken eyes, brighten shallow upper eyelids, or reduce signs of A-frame hollowing, our personalised approach ensures safe, natural-looking, and confidence-boosting results.

Upper eyelid hollowness often develops with age as the natural fat pads in the area diminish and descend, leading to a loss of volume beneath the brow bone. Some individuals naturally have a more deeply-set eye structure where the brow bone is more prominent, creating the appearance of hollowness from a younger age. Genetics and lifestyle factors can also play a role in the prominence of this hollowing.
An A-frame deformity describes an unnatural contour in the upper eyelid and brow area, often seen after surgery or with age. It’s characterised by noticeable depressions or hollowness both towards the nose and the temples, creating an “A” shape. This can result in a somewhat skeletal appearance and is often associated with excessive fat removal or improper surgical technique, and natural volume loss that results from ageing.
Non-surgical treatments effectively address upper eyelid hollows by carefully restoring lost volume and improving skin quality. We can use various methods to correct these depressions, creating a smoother and more youthful contour. This reduces the shadowing that can make your eyes appear sunken and tired.
The best way to determine if this treatment is suitable for you is to schedule a consultation with one of our experienced clinicians. We will assess the degree of your upper eyelid hollowness, discuss your expectations, and recommend a personalised treatment plan to achieve the natural-looking rejuvenation you desire.
The cost of upper eyelid treatments depends on your specific requirements. This includes the actual concern (such as hollowness and poor skin quality), the severity of the problem, and your desired results.
It also depends on the specific treatments used, and the experience of your clinician.
Most treatments for upper eyelids cost between $1000 and $2000 at legitimate cosmetic clinics.
Yes, treatments for upper eyelids are often combined with other treatments to smooth wrinkles and correct facial hollowness around the forehead, temples and cheeks. This achieves a more balanced facial rejuvenation.
Most individuals find the treatment quite tolerable. We use very fine needles or cannulas for precise placement, and topical numbing cream can be applied to enhance your comfort during the procedure. Any sensation is typically mild and brief.
The duration of the results can vary depending on the type of treatment used and individual factors. Generally, you can expect the improvement to last anywhere from 12 to 24 months. We will discuss the expected longevity during your consultation and recommend a suitable maintenance plan to prolong your refreshed look.
You will often notice an immediate improvement in the appearance of your upper eyelid hollows right after the treatment. The final result will become more apparent as any mild swelling subsides over the following days to weeks.
Downtime is typically none. You may experience some mild swelling or redness in the treated area, but this usually resolves within a few days. Most people can resume their normal activities immediately after the treatment.
Upper eyelid treatments are considered low risk. Choosing an experienced doctor-led cosmetic clinic and being transparent with your medical history are the most important steps in ensuring a safe treatment.
Common side effects include mild redness, swelling and tenderness. Bruising is uncommon, and typically settles in a few days.
Rare risks include infections and reactions to the various products used for your treatment.
