Restylane in the lateral part of the eye orbit works

Eugene Mandrea, MD answers: Restylane for hollows in lateral part of eye orbit?

I'm South Asian and have inherited dark hollows around my eyes. There's little collagen so the skin is thin and also dark pigmented. I'm 19 and considering Restylane filler.

The before and after shots of people that have taken Restylane in the eye area mostly correct the troughs and I haven't seen it used on the lateral circumference around the eye and to blend into the outer part of upper eyelid (near zygomatic bone).

Has this been achieved with good results? Any other advice to fix this problem?

Restylane in the lateral part of the eye orbit works provided that it is done very carefully.

The technique is unlike that in the medial part of the orbit (Tear trough), where a fair amount of Restylane (0.2-0.3 ml) can be injected deeply under the muscle.

For the lateral side, I inject very tiny amounts (0.05ml) superficially. If, after massaging, more seems to be necessary, I inject again a tiny amount.

This is not for beginners.
