filler or blepharoplasty for my tear trough?

My deep tear troughs are starting to really make me self-conscience.  I have been reading the pros and cons of each and am not sure what would be better.  I have barely gotten enough courage to consider a filler but I hear that they are difficult in this area to work properly.  I don't know if I could see myself having a blepharoplasty since its surgery (and I'm worried about not looking like myself once its done).  The fillers seem to be easy but everybody says to find an "experienced" person.  I talked to one board certified plastic surgeon who performs fillers but won't do them in the tear trough area because the results are so inconsistant.  Also, it appears that there are several different kinds of fillers as well.  Based on my photo, what would be recommended? 

A: Restylane 0.5cc or less to your tear troughs will do it

You would do well with Restylane in your tear troughs.  You don't need blepharoplasty.  You do need to find someone experienced in this technique.  It sounds like you are asking the right questions because you found out that the plastic surgeon you consulted is not experienced in the technique!  Just consult with a few more physicans (plastic surgeons or dermatologists) who perform a lot of fillers.  You will find someone. 

Don't take any aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen, or other NSAID one week prior to injection to minimize the chance of bruising.

Restylane in Lips After Rhinoplasty?

I had restylane injected into my upper and lower lips after my revision rhinoplasty 2 weeks ago? Will this affect my final result? My surgeon is out of town right now and I live 18 hours away from him, so I didn't think anything about until now because of all the swelling. I am so worried that I made a dumb mistake and did something wrong. I can handle having swollen ugly lips for awhile bc it can be fixed, unlike a rhinoplasty in which is a much more invasive surgery! I feel like such an idiot!

A: restylane and rhinoplasty

Assuming the Restylane was injected in the usual places in the lip, it will not be associated with any poor result from the rhinoplasty.  Additionally, you are not an idiot.  A Facial Plastic Surgeon will listen to what your desires are and come up with a safe way to get there.

How Do I Find an Experienced Doctor for Restylane for my Sunken Eyes?

I want the best results for underneath my deep set eyes, as I know this is a delicate area and the feedback keeps saying to find a doctor with experience. What questions do I ask when I'm interviewing doctors?

A: Sunken eyes

I would suggest seeing a board-certified Facial Plastic Surgeon.  They are the only surgeons who deal exclusively with the face and neck.  Often, fillers aren't the best choice for sunken eyes.  In addition, Restylane may not be the best choice.  It often will migrate after a few months and leave little bags under the eyes.  The placement of the filler is important.  Sometimes, only a subtle sub dermal injection is needed.  Often, a deeper injection is required.  Someone who has operated on the structures around the lower lid many times is best able to place the injection in the correct area.  Please use Arnica and Bromelin before the injection and avoid aspirin.  This will lead to decreased bruising.
