Juvederm Ultra Plus for Tear Trough?

I am considering having my tear trough area filled as I have deep hollows. My Dr says he would use Juvederm Ultra Plus. I have done some research and Juvederm Ultra Plus seems to be very thick? I don't want my undereye area to stick out and be "boddy" just as smooth and natural looking as possible!

Juvederm Ultra Plus for Tear Troughs??

Overall, it depends on the preference of the physician and you may find that one may prefer one filler over another for a certain area. Thank you... more

Juvederm Ultra Plus would seem to be too thick to use in the tear troughs in my opinion. Being that one of my goals when filling the tear troughs is to build up the orbital rim using a deep fill method, having the firmer... more

Dermal Filler for Tear Trough

While juvederm is possible, my preference is restylane. This is an area with considerable potential for complications so ensure that only an experienced and expert physician injector performs the treatment.

Juvederm for Tear Trough is not preferable to me!

Juvederm Ultra Plus is actually very thin and cross-linked for extra smoothness. However, it is NOT my filler of preference under the eyes. Sometimes Juvederm under the eyes can cause the Tyndall effect, a bluish-whitish translucent tinting, caused by the coloring of the Juvederm itself. Even though the particle size is a bit larger in Restylane, the coloring is much preferable. There are also smaller syringe sizes of Restylane available so it's easy to get one smaller syringe done, if you... more
