Thanks so much for all the advice. So very helpful. I have done my research and found an Oculoplastic Surgeon so am going to have the restylane fillers as a temporary measure - fingers crossed it makes a difference...

Just to update you on my experience. I did opt for restylane - however unfortunately it didnt work out for me. I didnt like the look asthetically and felt it looked artificial and changed the overall appearance of my face. I also had bruised like appearance under one eye due to the fact that blood from the bruising I had from the injections stained the restylane. After 4 weeks I had the restylane dissolved with hyaluronidase. Thankfully this was very straight forward, painless and worked within 24 hours. I am now back to where I started. I am however relieved that I opted for restylane and not surgery due to the fact it is reversible. The thought of having no choice but to live with a facial change after that I wasnt happy with after surgery doesnt bear thinking about. This website has helped me to express my concerns and ask questions but I do think it is important for people reading this to remember that every case is individual and that the most important thing is to seek out a qualified and reputable surgeon/dermatologist that you can trust. I also think that fillers like restylane seem like a 'safe' option which is why people are who wouldnt normally consider cosmetic treatments are taking the plunge. But as you will see on this website this isnt always the case - so dont jump into having injections without thinking long and hard about what you might be getting yourself into!
