Jennifer Matthews: Brown or blue. Big or small. It's hard to hide those tired eyes, until now. Plastic surgeons are using a new filler that eliminates the appearance of sunken eyes with no incisions, no sutures and no dressings.
Instead, 28 year-old Emily Ross will face this needle.
Emily Ross: Basically, what I want is to look like I came back from a great vacation, well-rested, destressed, reinvigorated.
Jennifer Matthews: First, doctors apply a topical numbing cream. Then, Emily's non-surgical eyelift begins.
Dr. Mike Nayak pokes and pricks underneath Emily's eyes. Inside the needle is hyaluronic acid -- a carbohydrate component that's found almost everywhere in your body.
L. Mike Nayak: You've seen this stuff before. You're built of it.
Jennifer Matthews: With a standard eyelift, surgeons cut into the eyelid and remove fat, making the bag smaller. With the non-surgical eyelift, doctors camouflage the bags by filling in the depression under the eye.
L. Mike Nayak: You would think that we would've understood this. You know, hey, fill the valley, the mountain doesn't look so tall.
Jennifer Matthews: From start to finish it takes 20 minutes.
Emily Ross: Oh, I think it looks good! I can see where it's filled in on both sides.
Jennifer Matthews: Within in hour, Emily is back at work.
The results? Exactly what Emily was looking for.
This is Jennifer Matthews reporting.
