Restylane to correct under eye hollow appearance

Stella Desyatnikova, MD answers: Hollowness under eyes after Radiesse

I had Radiesse injected in my cheek area for more volume a little over two weeks ago. However, due to the extra volume in my cheek area, my undereyes became hollow and dark. Has anyone encountered this problem? How long before the area goes back to normal again? I am assuming it will go down in a few weeks. Massaging the area does nothing.

I think it is possible to create or exacerbate under eye hollowness trying to increase cheek volume. Massaging will probably not help.

You can go back to the treating physician and address this issue. It might be improved by adding some volume in the under eye area using Restylane or Juvederm.
