Deep under eye hollows are a family trait. I had them filled, in a five minute procedure, in the Dr. office, with hyaluronic acid (which is something the body naturally produces, is my understanding). It is dissolvable, in case of over correction, which makes it low risk. I went in a couple weeks later for the rest of the syringe, as it’s typically done with half a syringe, then wait to see how it settles, and, if need be, you can go back after a couple of weeks to get the rest. I had bruising the first time, but not the second. I went on my lunch break and then straight back to work afterwards with a little concealer over bruising. After the second round, I had noticeable swelling over the weekend (I had it done on a Fri) but it settled by the Mon. Also, when I would go swimming with snug swim goggles on, it would move the filler around from the suction, which would last the rest of the day. Hyaluronic avid typically lasts 6-12 months, but unfortunately my body broke it down quite quickly. My lasted a couple months (maybe 4, if I remember correctly). The Dr. said we would use a different product next time which would last longer but we’d have to be careful with the amount used. I assume whatever that product is, it will not be dissolvable. Will update when I get it!

I had always wanted this area under my chin lipo’d as its where my family tends to store fat. It has to do with the type of lower jaws we have. When my body was covered and you could only see my face, I looked like I was carrying more weight than I was. I hated my profile, as it looked like I had a double chin. It was about a 30min. procedure, at the hospital, and I was awake for it. I was back at work in two days. I had a small bandage over the stitches for the first two days and the incision was so small and in such a discreet spot that no one noticed it. I iced it and used an elastic headband to hold the ice pack on so my hands were free. I’m extremely happy with the results.
