Use of fillers juvederm or restylane to tear trough or lower eyelid area

Otto Joseph Placik, MD answers: Restylane or Juvederm injection safe and effective for under eyes?

Is it safe and effective to have Restylane or Juvederm injected under the eyes for hollowness? If so, which is better? I had a lower blepharoplasty 8 years ago and I'm very hollow under the eyes. I am 48 years old and I have an appointment for a consultation and possible treatment this coming week, but I am apprehensive about the actual injection.

There are risks to any procedure. Of course you should seek the skills of a physician who is experienced in this technique. I have generally preferred the use of juvederm ultra in this area but that is a personal recommendation and I certainly have no objection to the other products which I have used in this area.
