Radiesse Under the Eye Lids, Like Amy Winehouse I Say "No, No, No!"

Hi Pretty Witty, Restylane is the preferred injectable filler of choice under the eye lids for hollowness. Juvederm is also popular, but sometimes swells a little too much. Both of these hyaluronic fillers have the advantage of possibly being diminished by using hyaluronidase injections if needed. Radiesse is not dissolvable if there is a problem.

I would stick with HA fillers for the tear trough

I think that HA's are best for the tear trough area. Their longevity there should be about a year. Although Radiesse is shunned by many in this area, it can be done by a skilled injector without issues. By the way, my favorite for this area is Restylane. The key to this area is to inject conservatively.
