Juvederm around the eyes

Daniel C. Mills, M.D., F.A.C.S. answers: How is Juvederm injected best for under the eyes?

Is Juvederm best injected deeply or just under the surface of the skin for the hollows under the eyes/tear trough area? Is one less likely to created a baggy look? Is a numbing cream sufficient for painless injections or are numbing injections necessary too? I'm trying to locate a doctor in Orange County who won't create under eye bags but with a minimal amount of pain.

If you inject the eyes just under the skin around the eyes, it is much more likely to be lumpy than if you inject right on top of the bone. It also hurts much more superficially. My PAs are not allowed to inject there, only me. This is because I feel that it is really good to have done the surgery, and to know the anatomy very well in this area before injecting - another reason that a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, and a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Surgery, should be your choice to see you. Look carefully at credentials before you go in.
