Restylane

Robert W. Kessler, MD answers: Restylane vs. Fat Grafting for under eye hollows?

I'm of East Indian origin and I have hereditary dark under eye circles. I have very thin skin under my eyes and a deep depressions in the inner cornes of my eyes and wrinkles. I'm trying to decide between getting Restylane injections to correct the hollowness or get Fat Grafting. I've read some pretty scary stories about both procedures and I'm not sure which is safer. Thank you

Although you may have heard scary things about both procedures the incidence of them happening is quite low. That being said the potential bad things that can happen from fillers are generally less severe and usually reversible when compared to fat transfer.

You are young and your lower lid contour is relatively good. I would recommend beginning with filler. You don't burn any bridges and I beleive you will be pleased with your result.
