WORTH IT$325

i am 31 years old and have had horrible hollows under my eyes ever since i can remember. of course since i'm not getting any younger they wern't getting any better plus in that certain horrific lighting i could see the hollows were very uneven, one side was worse, the other side went down further. I was scared to death of getting any type of injections because of the risks/side effects. well after several years of hearing "you look tired" "you look sick" "didn't you get any sleep?" etc. i finally decided to go for it last friday which was 3 days ago. now i understand everyone is different but wow, i had no bruising and no swelling that i could see. she injected it deep onto the bone. she used half a syringe. although i probably could've used more we both agreed to leave it as is for now and if i wanted in a couple weeks, she could add more. the hollows are no where near as pronounced as they were. i will definitely be doing this again but i'm hoping the results will last for a long time.

Your under eyes look great!! I have a bit of hollowing under my eyes as well, but like you I'm hesitant to do anything for it because I'm worried about bad side effects. Seeing your results makes me want to try something though!!

At this point are you planning to get more put in, or are you going to call it good for now?

Also, if you don't mind me asking, are you wearing under eye concealer in either photo?

what did you have injected? I have the same issue.. under eye hollows… it’s horrible.. in low light the hollows on me looks WORSE..I use a eye cream and MAC studio fix to conceal the circles ( works wonders) I just had Restaylne in my tear trough area to help with hollows.. I had it injected couple of years ago for the first time.. I experienced no bruising or discoloration at all.. It lasted a couple of years and I just had some injected again couple weeks ago .. this time I had a bruise which took weeks to go away along with swelling.. I thank GOD it went away.. I got SUPER scared b/c I read online that the bruising and discoloration can be permanent sometimes..

@ Megan I had no makeup on in the before pic and a light foundation on in the second because i felt i needed some type of sunscreen right after the procedure. even with foundation on it would have still looked horrible in that lighting had i not got the restylane done. @ Bella i had restylane, half a syringe (for both eyes not half a syringe each) i didnt think i had any swelling but i must have had a tiny bit because now it's been almost a week and i can see the hollowing more than when i first got it done. it's still no where near as horrible as it was though. she said it was better to underfill than overfill and that when i come in for my follow up if i want more she can give me a little more. well i was thinking about it but i don't have the money now since i had a pet emergency yesterday and Bella now reading what you said that you had no swelling and bruising the first time but you did the second time i'm kinda scared to get it done again. did you have the same injector both times? and how bad was your swelling?

Wow, looks really great for basically no makeup!

I am sorry to hear about your pet emergency. That stuff is always hard. :( Hope everything turned out ok.

Hello All,
How long does these fillers last? How much does it cost? Which is the best clinic? When you say Bella is it Bella vista?

Waiting for your reply to make a move:-)
Thanks

No more far circles what do you mean Bella vista? I think each filler lasts a different length of time.. the only thing I have had injected under my eyes is Restylane.. my Dr. said I still have some left under my eyes and it’s been 2 years.. I also had restylane injected in both sides of my chin..I had that done 2 weeks ago..it was left over from the same syringe that was used for my under eyes ..you should only be injected from a Facial Plastic Surgeon.. I prefer a surgeon that specializes in face. VS a regular Plastic Surgeon..
