Hello! I was looking to get either Juvederm or Restylane for my hollow tear troughs that I have, but since it just essentially makes the skin underneath the eyes more plump, will it make a large blue vein I have underneath one of my eyes less visible?

Any feedback or advice from you all would be appreciated. Thanks!
