Placement for Dermal Fillers under eyes is deep
Correction of the under eye hollowness, also called the tear trough area, can be achieved with submuscular injection of Juvederm or Radiesse. This is a great minimally invasive procedure to provide temporary correction of this problem as long as it is placed at the correct depth. It can last up to a year. Other options include permanant implants or fat grafting. The Juvederm injections cost around $500-600.
