What\u2019s the Catch?"},"content":{"rendered":"

Seeing an aesthetic procedure all over social media can breed a strange sort of FOMO. (Hey, we’re not immune.) Yet it may be difficult to distinguish for-the-’Gram fads from truly “Worth It” tweaks. Which is why we’re launching a new series on <\/em>RealSelf: <\/em>Everybody’s Doing It<\/em><\/a>. Each month, we’ll explore all sides of an of-the-moment cosmetic procedure, to bring you the uncensored truth about its efficacy and safety so you can decide if it’s right for you. Here, in our latest installment, we’re demystifying the art of under-eye filler.<\/em><\/p>

While their after shots are decidedly less flashy than pouty lips<\/a> or chiseled jawlines<\/a>, the lower eyelids have quietly become a favorite filler zone of late—in part because the problems plaguing this area tend not to discriminate.<\/p>

That sunken, shadowy appearance<\/a> that makes you look zonked even when you’re not—what doctors affectionately call a tear trough deformity—“spans ages and races, so there is no one demographic for under-eye filler<\/a>,” explains Dr. Heidi Waldorf<\/a>, a board-certified dermatologist in Nanuet, New York. “In fact, the under-eye is one of the most common starter areas for filler, for younger patients in my practice.” <\/p>

Dr. David Funt<\/a>, a board-certified plastic surgeon in Woodmere, New York, goes so far as to call tear trough correction a “universal treatment”—one that can benefit “young people who genetically have hollow eyes due to their bone structure” as well as “older folks as they start to get that V-shaped area of deficiency under their eyes.” <\/p>

In other words, if we weren’t born with sleepy hollows, they’ll likely surface later in life. “It’s an aging change that occurs in everyone—the lower eyelid appears longer and distinct from the cheek,” he adds. The good news? Blurring that border can make the whole face look fresher.<\/p>

Dark circles are frustrating and many patients complain about looking tired and hollow around the eyes. Filler can be placed to lighten their appearance and to fill the hollowness underneath the eyes which will refresh and brighten the face. 🌟 . .
