How to find an experienced physician for filler injections
First of all, please pardon the self-serving attitude of the plastic surgeons who recommend you only see a plastic surgeon. Regardless of their specialty, always ask about the experience of the injecting physician and make sure they have all of the "tools" to use, such as all of the various facial fillers (Sculptra, Radiesse, Perlane, Restylane, and Juvederm) that are approved for use in the United States. Always ask to see before and after pictures of patients they have personally...

How to Choose an Injector?
Hello. The under eye area is one of the more difficult injection techniques to perform well, at least for those not trained. One of the key questions to ask, regardless of the injector, is what technique are they using.
There is a very specific technique where the product is injected "under the muscle". You should know whether your injector will use this or not. Any tear trough procedure we have ever seen that where the patient is unhappy is invariably...

Restylane
I would recommend speaking with a board certified plastic surgeon who performs both blepharoplasty and injects fillers in this area. If they have experience with both procedures they can advise you as to the best course of treament. Some who only has one hamer will do the same thing all of the time. You should look for someone who can utulize all of the available surgical techniques and fillers.

Sunken eyes
I would suggest seeing a board-certified Facial Plastic Surgeon. They are the only surgeons who deal exclusively with the face and neck. Often, fillers aren't the best choice for sunken eyes. In addition, Restylane may not be the best choice. It often will migrate after a few months and leave little bags under the eyes. The placement of the filler is important. Sometimes, only a subtle sub dermal injection is needed. Often, a deeper injection is...

Although this treatment has become more common, with more doctors performing it, consult someone with expertise in the anatomy of the region. Consult an oculoplastic surgeon.

Selecting an experienced injector
I recommend that you have a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon, not just because of my own training and experience, but because plastic surgeons have many techniques available in addition to filler. I am less inclined to recommend filler if I do not think that it will satisfy the patient's needs and can discuss a whole range of treatment options. If you see a physician who can only offer you filler, then you are more likely to be pushed in that direction as...

Look at examples of Before and Afters when choosing an injector
The tear trough and under eye area is a place that responds well to fillers. Placing fillers in the tear trough and cheek area can greatly improve the appearance of the face. Making it look younger and more rested.
One caveat is that this can be a challenging area. It is helpful to find an injector who specializes in the under eye area. I think it is particularly helpful to see before and after images of other patients with similar issues under the eyes.

Experienced Injector For Restylane Under Your Eyes
If you have friends that have had it done and have been pleased with the outcome, this is a good place to start. Next, consult with your Dermatologist as to whether or not he or she has had experience with fillers in this area. It is a delicate area. Any injector who tells you that he or she has NEVER had a patient bruise or get a lump or need a touch up, has not injected enough patients and does not have enough experience!

How to find a Restylane doctor.
Hi.
This is an article I wrote about how to find a good doctor for plastic procedures in general. Items (1) through (6) should be useful to you.
1) Is the surgeon a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery? Members usually do a lot of cosmetic procedures.
2) Did you sense a commitment to excellence in the office. Did the surgeon spend a lot of time with you? Someone who rushes through the consultation may rush through the procedure.
3) Were you...
