Will Tear Trough Implants Make my Eyes Look Smaller?

March 8, 2011
Asked By:kittymeowmeow in los angelos

I have eye hollows that are getting more prominent. I have not reacted well with restylane in my lips so am looking at alternatives to improving my eye hollows, I have big round innocent looking eyes and want to know if they would look smaller or different if I put a tear trough implant in, also I wonder if the implant can be seen through the skin it is very thin, and how it looks when animated? Also whether there is a risk of visa le scar tissue forming around the implant.
