“Restylane for under eye hollowness”

After suffering for a few years hearing that I looked tired all the time I thought long and hard about getting this done. After reading alot of the reviews I was very nervous about the results with bruising and swelling. I shouldn't have been. It went great. He numbed me up with some cream for about 15 minutes before the injections. It seemed like he stuck me about 10-50 times under each eye! Some of them I felt but it was bearable like a pinch.

After I was iced, I was handed a mirror. I was shocked but not surprised by a few stick bruises. The ugly ditch under my eyes was gone! Yeah. Now we'll see how long it lasts. He used a full syringe on me so no left overs. It's been about 3 hours since I've had it done.

Looks great so far. He told me to use Arnica for the next week until I see him again and to use ice today as much as I can. I also took Quercetin with Bromelain caps on my own a few days before I went. I got up some Arnica gel to use too. I wanted to be prepared as much as I could. ")

I'll also be sleeping with my head abit elevated tonight. I'll be updating to give current results as I go.

Well I am a 45 year old and have been dealing with some serious under eye hollowness since my late 30's. I've tried EVERY product/gimmick under the sun to no avail.

After asking my ENT/plastic surgeon about it he suggested Restylane injections. I passed because I was scared of the unknown outcome at the time and cost.

I ended up getting this done a few years later in mid February 2009. I took Quentin a few days before getting the pokes done to help with the swelling and redness and continued taking it for about a week after. I also stopped taking all my supplements and ibuprofen a few weeks before.

He used something to numb me out topically and stuck me what felt like a million times. He went in pretty deep but told me he needed to. Some pricks were worse than others but not anything I couldn't sit still for.

End results? I'm very happy with the results and glad that a did it. I no longer look tired and it's got me out from under my glasses and into my contacts again. It took a good week for the bruising to be completely gone and the first day after the area was red and hot like I got stuck by a bee. It also looked a bit bumpy for a month or two but then smoothed out.

I went in today (3 months later) and did some touch up work under my worse eye. It's about the same reaction as before but not as bad since I didn't get much done at all. If the results last for close to a year I will getting it done on a regular basis.
