Jennifer S. Landy M.D. answers: Best injectable filler for undereye hollows?

What is the best injectable dermal filler (apart from fat) for under-eye hollowness?  What about upper-eye hollowness? Is this safe?

There are certain fillers that are safe for hollowing under the eyes.  Typically, the hyaluronic acid products such as Restylane or Juvederm can fill in the hollowing of the lower eyelids very nicely.

The eyelid skin is some of the thinnest skin in the body so you want to make sure the injector is comfortable with the eyelids so as not to cause too much lumpiness or stranding. I usually recommend to my patients that they try a non-permanent filler always before a permanent filler to make sure they are pleased with their result and have no adverse reaction.

These hyaluronic acid products are very safe products and when used judiciously can eliminate the hollowed appearance the lower lids can take on with aging as we lose fat.
