Am I a Candidate for Restylane For Tired Eyes? (photo)

Am I a candidate for Restylane? if not, any suggestions on how to make my eyes look less tired and healthy looking? I do have some darkness a bit under my eyes as can been seen in the pic. as you can see there are bags right under my eyes. I feel that my eyes are very deep set/hollow looking and seem to have that tired look all the time.

A: Restylane and Juvederm works well for under eye bags

Yes, I think that either Restylane or Juvederm are excellent choices to camouflage your under eye bags. I like to use the analogy of peaks and valleys when addressing puffiness under the eyes. The peak, the excess fat that can develop in the lower eye lids can be removed with surgery. This needs to be done conservatively so as to avoid a hollowing effect. This is accomplished by filling in the valley, the hollowed area under the eye lid so that less fat has to be removed. It's a balance- add a little, take away a little. Even if you don't have any fat removed, adding Restylane under your eyes will decrease the puffiness appearance by at least 50%

Safe to Have Nurse Inject Restylane?

I am looking for a doctor that does fillers such as Restylane, however I am finding that most places have nurses who perform this procedure. Is that safe or should I insist on a plastic surgeon to do the procedure?

A: Safety of nurse injectors for fillers and Botox

Some practices have nurses inject Restylane and Botox. I think it is important that the nurse have adequate training and has on site physician supervision. If the plastic surgeon or dermatologist doesn't perform any injections, chances are he/she didn't train the nurse nor can they effectively supervise that nurse. This is in contrast to a busy plastic surgeon who has patient overflow and has a nurse inject patients that would otherwise have to wait weeks to be seen. A busy injector probably has good results and would be the right person to train their own nurse in the same techniques that they use. I think that the physician should remain on site when the nurse is injecting.

Laws regarding nurse injectors also vary from state to state.

Good luck!
