Am I a Candidate for Restylane For Tired Eyes? (photo)

Am I a candidate for Restylane? if not, any suggestions on how to make my eyes look less tired and healthy looking? I do have some darkness a bit under my eyes as can been seen in the pic. as you can see there are bags right under my eyes. I feel that my eyes are very deep set/hollow looking and seem to have that tired look all the time.

Restylane for tired eyes

I do think that a filler like Restylane would help your appearance and decrease the dark circles you have.

Fillers and Volumizers Work Well for Rejuvenating "Tired Eyes," Dark Circles, and Bags Under the Eyes

Moderate bags under the eyes, dark circles, crinkling and tear troughs can respond quite well to the proper injection of fillers under the eyes. In general, I prefer to use monophasic hyaluronic acid products, such as Juvederm Ultra XC for this purpose, since the skin is quite thin in this region and this material in my opinion makes for a more even and smooth result. When dark circles are present, the addition of a tiny amount of Radiesse--which is whitish in color--, to the... more

Restylane for tear trough

You will likely see some improvement with restylane. But just putting it in your tear trough may not solve the whole problem. For best results get a full cosmetic consultation and consider all options, including fillers, botox, laser and facial peels.

I agree with the other expert posters to TRY Restylane in the tear troughs ONLY! You might consider a laser peel of the lower lids also.

Restylane for under eye area

Restylane is a beautiful option for under the eyes. Occasionally a very small amount of Botox is also injected to help with the muscle protrusion and if done correctly will not cause a slump. Fillers under the eyes is an advanced technique so please be sure you are seeing a board certified dermatologist, plastic surgeon, oculoplastic surgeon or facial plastic surgeon.

Yes, it is possible but you need to go to an expert or it is likely to be unsuccessful.

Fillers under the eyes are the equivalent of the Oscars. They are the big time and if your injector isn't qualified you can end up very unhappy. The filler in your case has a very limited area of effectiveness and if placed too high it will look bluish. You won't likely get full improvement, but some improvement is quite likely if you go to the right person. I would recommend a dermatologist who does their own injections and one who is well known for this... more

Be careful with BOTOX in the "muscle roll."

That muscle roll holds the lower eyelid margin against the eye. Weakening that muscle can cause the lower eyelid to slump. On the other hand under eye filler is very helpful. I prefer Restylane in this area over all other fillers. Restylane tends to hold beautifully. It is reasonable to expect this type of treatment to last a year or more. Any moisturizer will also help the skin of the lower eyelid look better. Since these products often over promise... more

Restylane and Juvederm works well for under eye bags

Yes, I think that either Restylane or Juvederm are excellent choices to camouflage your under eye bags. I like to use the analogy of peaks and valleys when addressing puffiness under the eyes. The peak, the excess fat that can develop in the lower eye lids can be removed with surgery. This needs to be done conservatively so as to avoid a hollowing effect. This is accomplished by filling in the valley, the hollowed area under the eye lid so that less fat has to be removed. It's a balance-... more

Restylane to Eyes...

Yes, I would recommend some injections to your Tear Troughs with Restylane, a small amount of Botox to area that we call the "jelly roll", and a good eye cream to be used twice a day. As for the eye cream, in my office I would recommend TNS Eye Repair by Skin Medica or Youth Eye by IS Clinical. Hope this helps. Good luck Dr. Grant Stevens
