A-Frame Volume Restoration What causes an A-Frame Holllowing?

Upper eyelid hollowing, often called A-frame hollowing, or A-Frame Deformity is a common sign of facial ageing that can make your eyes appear sunken, tired, or prematurely aged. Understanding the anatomy of the issue allows better comprehension of the potential treatments available.

Several factors contribute to hollowing of the upper eyelids, including:

  • Loss of Fat Pads:
    The upper eyelid contains soft pads of fat that naturally cushion and support the eyelid, creating a youthful fullness. As we age, these fat pads gradually diminish, shrink, or shift, causing the upper eyelid to look hollow or sunken.

  • Bone Structure Changes:
    Over time, subtle changes occur in the facial bones around the eye sockets (orbital bones). These changes include gradual bone resorption (bone loss), resulting in less support for surrounding tissues and creating a deeper, more hollow-looking upper eyelid area.

  • Skin Thinning and Collagen Loss:
    Ageing also affects your skin’s structure. Reduced production of collagen and elastin—two vital proteins responsible for skin elasticity and firmness—leads to thinner, looser skin. As skin around your upper eyelid becomes thinner and less elastic, underlying structures become more visible, contributing to the hollow, gaunt appearance.

  • Genetics and Facial Anatomy:
    Some individuals naturally have deeper-set eyes or thinner upper eyelids due to genetic factors. This predisposition can accelerate or accentuate the appearance of hollowing, even at a relatively young age.

  • Lifestyle and Health Factors:
    Lifestyle factors like significant weight loss, stress, inadequate sleep, or chronic illness can accelerate volume loss and skin changes, further emphasising the hollowing around the eyes.

Understanding these anatomical and lifestyle factors provides insight into why your eyes may appear sunken or hollow and helps you make informed decisions about potential treatments to restore a refreshed, youthful appearance.

Non-surgical under-brow rejuvenation The Impact of Eyelid Hollowing on Facial Appearance

Upper eyelid hollowing, sometimes referred to as A-frame deformity, may influence the appearance of your eyes and upper facial area. Changes in the upper eyelids can affect facial expressions and overall appearance. Common cosmetic concerns related to upper eyelid hollowing include:

  • An appearance of tiredness around the eyes, even when rested, due to changes in volume and shadows around the eyelids.

  • Early or more noticeable signs of ageing, as volume loss may enhance visibility of underlying structures and features.

  • Increased visibility of skin folds or shadows around the brow and eyelid area, potentially affecting how the upper face appears.

  • Changes in facial expressions or overall appearance, potentially affecting how one feels about their appearance.

Treatments aiming to address upper eyelid hollowing may help support improved facial contours and overall balance. Results are individual, and specific outcomes cannot be guaranteed.

The Benefits of Volumising Upper Eyelid Hollowing

Volumising treatments for upper eyelid hollowing (sometimes called A-frame hollowing) may assist in improving the appearance of this facial area. These treatments are intended to help address cosmetic concerns related to upper eyelid volume loss, potentially improving overall facial balance.

Possible outcomes patients may seek from upper eyelid volumisation include:

  • May potentially help restore volume to hollow or sunken upper eyelids
  • May create a smoother transition between the brow and eyelid
  • Creates smoother, youthful-looking eyelids
  • Can support a more refreshed and rested appearance
  • Tailored to complement individual facial structure

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is a suitable candidate for upper eyelid volumising treatment?

Suitable candidates for upper eyelid treatments may include individuals who have concerns about the appearance of hollowing in their upper eyelids. This cosmetic concern may be related to natural ageing, genetics, or changes in body weight.

Treatment suitability depends on individual facial anatomy, skin condition, and aesthetic goals. Your clinician will assess your unique circumstances and discuss appropriate treatment options during your consultation. Individual results and experiences vary.

Who should avoid a-frame/upper eyelid volumising treatments?

Those who are not good candidates for upper eyelid volumisation include those with excessive upper eyelid skin and no clear volume loss. These patients may be better suited to a consultation for an upper eyelid blepharoplasty, or other skin tightening treatment to the upper eyelid including but not limited to Co2 laser or RF needling.

In most cases the appearance of sunken eyes can be improved with carefully placed volume to the specific anatomical area of concern. Suitability as it relates to your unique circumstances can be discussed at a complimentary consultation with one of our senior cosmetic doctors.

How do you fix sunken eyes without surgery?

Non-surgical treatments are available to address concerns relating to the appearance of hollowing around the eyes. Upper and lower eyelid (tear trough) hollowing may affect the overall facial appearance, and tailored treatment approaches can be discussed to address these concerns.
