I am searching for a doctor who is very skilled in injecting under the eyes to fix hollows. However, I feel many doctors say they do this treatment when in reality they haven't done it often. What are the questions I should be asking and what other things should I look for? Also what is the cost to this procedure? I have heard about extremely low and high costs so I am very confused. Thanks for the help!

Restylane for under eye hollows

I frequently inject under eye hollows by injecting deeply below the muscle. The eyelid skin is thin and deep injections help to ensure smooth results and prevent the filler from being visible as a bluish tint. I use topical cream for numbing. My patients rarely complain of pain when I inject this area. There is a risk of getting a bruise as there are blood vessels in this area. It is important to avoid blood thinners such as aspirin, ibuprofen, etc... more

How Can I Find a Doctor That is Very Skilled in Injecting Under Eye Resylane?

Best to contact the offices of plastic and cosmetic surgeons and dermatologists in your area to see if they inject Restylane under the eyes and it depends what you're trying to accomplish with the Restylane. This area has lots of vessels and quite thin skin so bruising is always a real possibility. IMHO, it's best injected through the inside of the eyelid which obviously makes it a bit tricky but it goes below the vessels. Best used, IMO, to fill in hollows but not... more

This also tells you about the experience and artistic 2) make sure the practice has a strong reputation and you are dealing with well-trained and board... more
