Under eye hollows filler treatment

Under eye hollows, AKA tear troughs, can be filled with Hyaluronic acid . Juvederm & Restylane can both be used. Restylane sub-Q is available only overseas, not in USA. I just attended a workshop in Paris where a new cannula is used to inject the resylane in the sub-orbital hollows with excellent results. If done properly, the results are great. I have yet to use the cannula technique. However, results are excellent with restylane / perlane, or Juvederm. The procedure needs an... more

Restylane for under eye hollows

Fillers can be injected for the tear trough and the adjacent deep sockets as long as the area is below the level of the rim of the orbital bone.

I have seen patients treated elsewhere who have been unhappy with fillers for the lower eyelids had their fillers injected too close to the eyelash margin where the filler is above the muscle and it looks obvious and lumpy.

Restylane is good for the under eye hollows. Did I say good? I mean it is the greatest thing since sliced toast. Now any needle jockey can inject any product.

But good technique and knowing the anatomy are really important here. Restylane must be injected deeply as you say (under the muscle, not subcutaneously) and in tiny amounts to avoid lumps.

Yes, it looks great if done properly

Deep subcutenous (actually right on the periosteum) injection of Restylane looks great for treatment of a deep tear trough under the eye. It is a subtle effect, but it blunts a deep tear trough, which otherwise can give a very tired look. The injection should only be done medial to the mid-pupillary line, or very very small amounts lateral to that. Trouble is, I have seen patients who 1) had too much injected, 2)had it injected too superficially, 3) had it injected too... more
