Hyaluronic fillers for tear trough

Andres Bustillo, MD answers: Radiesse for tear-trough area?

I'm a 25 year old, female and since I turned 22, I noticed that my uppermost-cheek/tear-trough area is starting to flatten. This problem emphasizes dark circles around my eyes and makes me look tired.

How many cc's of filler would it take approximately to correct this? My problem isn't severe and I have good width across my cheekbones, but I'd like an improvement for this particular area. Can Radiesse be used for this area?

The filler of choice for the tear trough area is a hyaluronic acid, such as Restylane or Juvederm. Usually a 1 cc syringe is enough for both sides. They last about 6 months and great results can be achieved with them. I do not recommend Radiesse in that area. Make sure the physician has experience injecting the tear trough before you have it done.
