Why Are Restylane Injections (Undereye Hollows) So Expensive?

While we charge more on the line of $450 to $550 a syringe, I rarely use two syringes per eye area.  Generally, one will suffice and overdoing it will only lead to issues if you aren't satisfied.

My recommendation is to go slowly initially and see how you like it.  You can always do more in the future.  Now, if four syringes were tackling the face areas that might be understandable, but to just do the under eye hollows, that could even be too much unless you need quite a bit of correction. 

As for the implants, they have a pretty awful track record.  They don't stay in place very often and when your facial structure ages they can look odd as they have no ability to be redone as with fillers like Restylane, Juvederm or Perlane.  That makes them a challenge if you change over time (which everyone does!). 

Good luck!

Every practice has a different price but are often very competitive when it comes to dermal fillers. If you're visiting with a reputable and well-known provider and practice that does a lot of volume, you may see slightly better pricing. Do some research in your area as well for reputable providers.

The under eye area is the most sensitive treatment area of the face for fillers.  The results can be fantastic but this is an advanced treatment area.  The best services require pains taking attention to detail.  The product can simply be slammed into the face.  The top physicians and surgeon also command the highest prices.  Orbital rim implants are no substitute for under eye fillers.  If you and your surgeon think placing a tear trough implant is cheaper for you in the long run than having a properly done (but expensive) under eye filler service, both of you are in for disappointment.  Additionally, the under eye fillers can be adjusted in a way that his impossible to be down for implants. 

Fees vary.  My fee is lower and I think that you might want to comparison shop to verify that other skilled injectors in your area are in the same price range.  All of the cosmoceuticals and injectibles cost plenty for the doctor to purchase from the manufacturer and, actually, the supplement for his time and expertise isn't terribly high.  I personally find the notion of 4 syringes in a single sitting for the lower eyelids to be high.  You haven't posted a photograph but generally I use 1-2 syringes for this area, so this is another issue that you should resolve by additional consultations.

The fee for restylane will vary around the country.  There are several ways to treat the lower lid region: sometimes surgical and sometimes filler, and sometimes a combination.  Fat grafting ti also an alternative.

The injection of hyaluronic acid filler under the eyes (tear trough) requires great skill. Not any doctor is able to place it safely and correctly. While the price you have quoted is on the high side, it all depends on the doctor's pricing and his skills. You may actually be paying more for the skill rather than the product itself. There are some doctors who charge by the syringe no matter where they inject and it may actually be more beneficial for you to see them, provided they are of sound reputation and skills.

Price varies widely for Restylane, but 1000 dollars is on the high side, likely because you live In a city where overhead for a doctor's office is exorbitant.  I typically use one 1-2 syringes of Restylane at 600 per syringe.  There are also half syringes that can be used so occasionally a patient might get 1 1/2 syringes.  Restylane under the eyes typically lasts for a year.    An experienced injector can usually improve the area significantly with one syringe and then you can add additional product in 3-6 months when your budget allows.  Please do not price shop.  The most important factor is the experience of your physician.

 

 

Restylane under the eyes can lead to dramatic improvement in your overall appearance.  This is generally recommended over eye implants depending on your goals.

Cost will depend on multiple factors--the most important being the skill of the injector, your geographic location, any rebates offered by the manufacturer, and cost of the product.  Be wary of any deals that seem too good to be true, as you often get what you pay for.

In my experience, Restylane will typically last 1-1.5 years in the undereye area.   I tend to be more conservative to avoid having my patients look like they've had something done.  Depending on how much product you need to volumize this area, I sometimes start with one syringe and add additional product later.

Restylane or any injectable is expensive when it is purchased from a reliable person. The exact price of the procedure varies from 700 to 1000 per syringe. These injections are really intricate and require deep placement of the material.  I like to place these injections beneath the muscle in order to avoid lumps and bumps and discoloration.

The price of restylane, or any cosmetic procedure, depends on multiple factors, including doctor's experience and reputation, geography, demand in your area, and cost of the product to your doctor. I would make sure to choose a doctor with experience in injecting this area.
