Options to fill dark circles under eyes

You appear to be a great candidate for under eye improvement via tear trough filling. Filling the tear trough is extremely technique-sensitive; visit a surgeon who fills at least 2-3 patient tear troughs per day!

How do I treat my tired looking eyes

I think that you have two options. The first option would be an injectable filler such as Restylane. This is a relatively non-invasive process that adds volume to the tear trough region as well as to the upper cheeks. Restylane typically lasts 9-12 months. The other option would be a lower eyelid blepharoplasty. This would entail removing fat from your lower eyelids. Looking at your pictures and considering your age, I would try fillers first as I am not convinced that you have that much... more

What to do for Tired Eyes and Bags?

Hi DD. We would also suggest Restylane in your situation. The procedure would involve 1-2 syringes and you may benefit if some of the product was placed in the upper cheek as well as the under eye area.

Options in treating the tear trough

The options for treating tear troughs are either minimally invasive such as fillers or fat injections or surgical with lower blepharoplasty/eyelid surgery with manipulation of the fat, muscle and septum in that region to create a smoother transition from the lower eyelid and the cheek. I prefer Restylane in that region since it is less hydrophilic (water absorbing) then Juvederm and causes less swelling. In that region it may last up to two years. If for any reason you are not satisfied with... more
