Restylane filler is a good choice

Kenneth D. Steinsapir, MD answers: Restylane for hollows in lateral part of eye orbit?

I'm South Asian and have inherited dark hollows around my eyes. There's little collagen so the skin is thin and also dark pigmented. I'm 19 and considering Restylane filler.

The before and after shots of people that have taken Restylane in the eye area mostly correct the troughs and I haven't seen it used on the lateral circumference around the eye and to blend into the outer part of upper eyelid (near zygomatic bone).

Has this been achieved with good results? Any other advice to fix this problem?

Dear Reveena

I treat a large number of young actors for under eye hollows and dark circles. This is an excellent option. While the treatment is safe for those trained in eyelid and midface anatomy, the methods is highly technique dependent. Translation: this is basically an art form. The treating doctor is sculpting your face with Restylane. It is my personal opinion that Juvederm is not the ideal product for this application. In my experience the feature that prompts the marketers to call Juvederm "smooth" also means that it does not hold as well as Restylane in the under eye area. However, I think that there is room for disagreement on this point.

The other issue is that this treatment does not eliminate the dark ring around the eye, it simply makes it look better. However, this improvement is generally welcomed and I encourage you to find an injector who is well qualified for these types of treatment.
