Fillers for Tear Trough

Farbod Esmailian, MD answers: Restylane or Juvederm injection safe and effective for under eyes?

Is it safe and effective to have Restylane or Juvederm injected under the eyes for hollowness? If so, which is better? I had a lower blepharoplasty 8 years ago and I'm very hollow under the eyes. I am 48 years old and I have an appointment for a consultation and possible treatment this coming week, but I am apprehensive about the actual injection.

You are talking about having a filler placed into the tear trough area.  After blepharoplasty some patients can suffer from excessive hollowing and more prominence of the tear trough.

Both are great at filling in the area.  I find that restylane goes a bit longer than juvederm does, but that is solely my experience.  They both work well in that area.

Good luck.
