Dolly eye is
Most people think that dolly eyes refer to bags under the eyes. However, dolly eyes are actually the skin around the lower eyelids, extending from the inner corner of the eye to the outer corner. The skin is curved and thickest in the middle of the eye. Dolly eyes are caused by a muscle called the “Orbicularis Oculi,” which is a muscle around the eyes that stretches and tightens. This causes the skin around the lower eyelids to bulge out. Dolly eyes tend to become more visible when smiling or laughing. Under-eye bags are fat that protrude from the eye sockets, lower than the lower eyelash line. This is caused by aging, which causes the skin and muscles around the eyes to sag and the fat in the sockets to move out.

4 ways to make dolly eyes, temporary and permanent
1. Dolly Eye Pen
It is a cosmetic used to draw under the eyes to make the eyes look naturally full. Most dolly eye pens come in light colors such as beige, light pink, and flesh-colored. The popular models include ETUDE HOUSE (Tear Eye Liner or Bling Bling Eye Stick), CLIO (Twinkle Pop Pearlflex Glitter Eye Liner), CANMAKE (Tear Drop Eyeliner), and Thai brands like Khun Kratae. This method can be done by everyone by itself. It is inexpensive, does not require a lot of equipment, and can be removed immediately if dissatisfied. However, the results are not long-lasting and must be redone every time makeup is applied.
How to use: First, look straight ahead and smile gently to see the position of the muscles under the eyes that will bulge. Then, use a pen to draw a shadow line along the line of the wrinkles under the eyes that occur when you smile. Then, use a brush with a small tip or use your fingers to gently blend the drawn line to make it look soft and blend it into the skin.
2. Dolly Eye filler injection
In this procedure, the doctor will inject a filler such as hyaluronic acid (HA) into the area under the eyes. The filler will help correct wrinkles, lift and tighten the skin, and help adjust the shape of the face, including creating dolly eyes. Dolly eyes using filler injections are injected only 1-2 CC at a time into the area under the eyes. After the injection, the skin under the eyes will be raised, giving it a natural dolly eye appearance.
Dolly Eye filler injections are highly safe when performed by a skilled physician. Results are visible immediately after injection, with no recovery time required. They naturally dissolve on their own. If dissatisfied, filler-dissolving injections are available. However, this method produces temporary results, lasting approximately 1-2 years, and is relatively expensive.
3. Dolly eye fat injection
This procedure involves a doctor suctioning out excess fat from areas such as the thighs or abdomen. After extracting the fat, the fat is blended and extracted to separate stem cells. These are then mixed with fat tissue and injected into the affected area. Fat injections help tighten the skin and make it appear more youthful, including helping with dolly eye shapes.
Dolly Eye fat injections are a safe procedure because the substance used is our own fat. They also correct the problem without surgery, require no recovery time, and do not cause scarring. However, Dolly Eye fat injections do not provide permanent results. They require more than 1 CC of injections at a time to allow for the fat that has been dissolved. They also require multiple treatments to maintain the results.
4. Dolly eye surgery
Dolly eye surgery is a surgical procedure that uses your own tissue or specially designed artificial tissue. The surgeon will make a wound approximately 2-4 mm. in size under the eye along the lower eyelash line. The selected tissue will then be inserted to create a raised shape and the wound will be stitched closed. The surgery takes approximately 45-60 minutes.
Dolly eye surgery provides dramatic, natural-looking results that are also permanent. However, it is a high-risk procedure that requires a surgeon with expertise in eyelid surgery and requires a longer recovery time than other procedures.
