A: Restylane is a poor solution for this problem

By Stephen Prendiville, MD - Ft. Myers Facial Plastic Surgeon

In my personal opinion, Restylane (or other form of hyaluronic acid injectable) in the infra orbital hollows is a procedure searching for an indication. I have literally never seen any results I have been pleased with in my own hands, or in the hands of other surgeons. The best result yields a... more

A: Be cautious when injecting in this area of the eye

By Ronald Shelton, MD - Manhattan Dermatologic surgeon

The photograph reveals dark circles of skin above the muscle in the orbit. This is not a very safe area to inject Restylane or any filler. It is used more safely under muscle when this is above the bony area of the high cheek bone. Dark circles may benefit by laser resurfacing, although there is a risk of... more

By Eugene Mandrea, MD - Chicago Dermatologist

Restylane in the lateral part of the eye orbit works provided that it is done very carefully.

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... more

A: restylane around the eyes

By Steven Hacker, MD - Delray Beach Dermatologist

Although this is effective in many cases in the "tear trough" area, it is risky and only should be done by an experienced surgeon . This can result in visual lumpiness in this area because skin is so thin and if placed to high it will not be cosmetically acceptable. For these reasons, I often... more

A: Restylane or Juvederm good option for tear trough deformity along lower eyelids

By William Ting, MD - Bay Area Dermatologic surgeon

Either Restylane or Juvederm would be a good option for tear trough deformity, including lateral portions of the lower eyelids in the hands of an experienced board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon. This would be an off-labelled indication that has had good track record for the past few years.... more
