Restylane for Hollow Eyes?

Based on the photograph, you do not have any protruding fat herniation and very few under eye wrinkles. A well placed hyaluronic acid filler such as Restylane or Juvederm Ultra would soften the valley between your cheek and under eye area, and improve the "hollowness" of your eyes. In fact, I find patients such as yourself to be one of the best candidates for this sort of non-surgical eye lift. Keep in mind, it would not completely obliterate the darkness under your eyes, since... more

Restylane can help this area but you should go to someone with experience injecting it into this area. Juvederm can lead to excessive swelling in my experience in the eye area. Restylane is a little more predictable here. The key to augmenting this area is to fill in the valley and you need to be exact in this by making clear markings of where you want to augment from the surgeons standpoint. Also, many times, getting rid of the dark circles is challenging with Restylane, given that it... more

Based on your photograph, you are probably the ideal candidate for rejuvenation with a filler. That is because you have no pseudoherniation (excess fat pockets), excellent lower lid muscle tone and a lack of excess skin. I would not recommend Radiesse because if placed too superficially it could leave visible lumpiness and can't be removed easily. The hyaluronic acid fillers can easily be reversed if necessary. Hyaluronic acid fillers in this area generally last longer then filler in the... more

I think Restylane would be my first choice for your under-eye hollows. Its behavior is more predictable than Juvederm for this area. I have also had success with Radiesse for the under-eye hollows but results with Radiesse in particular are technique-dependent so generally speaking, Restylane would be safer. Good luck.

I applaud you for not being content with the feedback that you received during your initial consultation.  If this condition has been a concern of yours, then there is no better time than now to explore your options.  Oftentimes, if a particular practice/practitioner does not perform a treatment or service, they do not encourage you to find one that would.  Using cosmetic dermal fillers to the tear trough area (depressed area under the eyes) is a very satisfying treatment... more

Dear Unfortunate Eyes I strongly endorse under eye Restylane. You might need 2.5 ml of Restylane under each eye but the result would be fantastic. Treatment will last at least a year. I would strongly discourage Radiesse for this area. You need so much filler that it is very likely that you could form a lump or a bump. These issues are very easy to adjust with Restylane but impossible to adjust with Radiesse. Frankly, I would be concerned that Radiesse in this area could destroy... more
