Best under eye filler
I am now convinced that Restylane is the best dermal filler for treating tear troughs and periocular depressions. It has a long track record of safety around the eye and does not spread around like juvederm does (which is good). It needs to be injected deep (onto the bone). Bruising is now a lot less with a newer technique I have just started but it is the one area that bruising is fairly common.

Least problematic under eye filler thus far overall is Restylane
There are no FDA approved fillers for under the eye. Most fillers only have FDA approval for Naso Labial Folds. At this date there is only one FDA approved filler for lips (Restylane).
Risking long term or permanent fillers under the eye is not worth the potential negative results. Restylane injected properly under the eye typically lasts longer than it does in other areas, so you'll likely see the volume you are enjoying longer than you might think.

Only consider two fillers: HA and Fat. ALL OTHERS WILL AGE YOUR FACE!!!
The only two fillers you should ever consider at this point are crosslinked HA like Juvederm Ultra Plus or Perlane and autologous fat. ALL OTHER LASTING FILLERS HAVE HORRIBLE EFFECTS ON YOUR FACE. The other long lasting fillers become too firm causing fat atrophy, skin stretch strange textures and FACIAL AGING!!! Fat is the ideal filler but requires a longer recovery than HA fillers but it lasts if placed appropriately. I tell my patients with confidence that one year...

Restylane for Tear Troughs
In our practice, Restylane is the only injectable filler that we use in the tear trough area. It has the most natural and consistant result of all the fillers - it is also has a very good safety profile. You want to be sure to go to someone very experieced before getting injections in this region. Restylane can often last 6-12 months in the tear trough region.

I would recommend only non permanent fillers. i only use juvederm in this area. the skin is paper thin and you will likely bruise.try icing 5 minutes before injection to shrink the blood vessels. some physicians will inject an anesthetic with epinephrine before injecting this area. these injections are the trickiest injections on the face. make sure you feel confident with your injector for this area in particular. it is a very unforgiving area

Best cosmetic dermal filler for tear troughs
As most of the panel members agreed, Restylane is the product of choice in our practice for the tear trough area. We like the fact that it does not migrate as easily as Juvederm, that it may be resolved with hyaluronidase if needed, comes in 1/2 syringe for those that require less product in this area (which is not uncommon), and is much, much safer than a semi-permanenent or permanent filler.
We recommend that you don't trade safety for longevity as the tear trough area is very...

Fillers around the eyes can cause visible lumps
You are very fortunate that you have had good results with Restylane around the eyes into the tear trough. Since you have had good luck with Restylane, stick with it and the doctor who gave you a good result.
Longer lasting fillers are more likely to result in lumps and of course take longer to go away.
I have seen many, many patients who complain of visible lumps especially when fillers are injected into the dark cirlce under the lower eyelid, which is above the tear trough. actaul tear...

Tear Troughs
I assume you had the so-called "tear troughs" injected. Your choice of Restylane is fine. Juvederm also works well. It is questionable whether or not it lasts longer. In this area, both tend to last longer than when injected in other areas of the face. I use Restylane and my patients come in only once or twice a year for tear trough treatments.

Fat injections are an option, but restylane lasts longer in the eye area
Fat injections are an option, but restylane lasts longer in the eye area. More recently practitioners are finding that restylane in the eye area can last more than one year. We have patients that have results for over 2-3 years. For longer results you can think of fat injections. Restylane is the best in the eye area from a filler standpoint. Restylane usually lasts around 6 months to a year. But in the eye region again the results can be longer.

Restylane for tear troughs
Restylane fine line is my preferred product for tear troughs. In cases where someone has deep set eyes resylane product is a good choice. The fine line product which has been available in Canada for a number of years is very smooth forgiving and does not leave lumps. I inject the majority of the product just superficial to bone. .
