19 Yo Juvederm in Tear Troughs? (photo)

Restylane works fantastic for this area, and I prefer it over Juvederm. The Restylane will last 8-12 months in that area. From here, I would recommend contacting a physician who has a great deal of experience injecting filler. He or she will be able to best assess your needs during a consult and recommend the best treatment for you. Thanks and good luck!

I would recommend that you have a treatment with
Juvederm filler, like Volbella, which is a very fine product, that can help to
soften the hollowness under your eyes, without leaving lumpiness. In this case,
I recommend trying an injectable treatment with filler before moving to a
surgical option.

    Juvederm is good for many areas, but to the tear trough Restylane is probably a better choice over Juvederm.

Dear twix468,


I also prefer Restylane in the tear trough because Juvederm can cause some unpredictable swelling that might make eye bags look worse

We use an injector cannula that does not causing any bruising and minimal swelling, but if a needle is used, be prepared for the possibility of some bruising

Your results would look fantastic

From the photo, you appear to be good candidate for lower eyelid tear trough hyaluronic acid gel filler injections (Restylane better than Juvederm for this area).  This type of filler has even been used in pediatric population for other causes, so it is safe to use.

Hi Twix. Your situation is unique in that the tear trough issue is not caused by age, but rather by genetics.  It's just the shape of your face.

You are a candidate for this procedure, but we prefer Restylane in the area to Juvederm.  We typically use 1-2 cc and the procedure lasts 9-12 months.  Good luck.

You look like a perfect candidate for an (HA) hyaluronic dermal filler such as Restylane or Belotero.  I have used Juvederm in malar cheeks with good success but in thin skin areas such as tear troughs a softer product is better. You are too young to consider a surgical procedure, but a little volume would make a nice correction 

I agree that your photograph does not indicate that there are any surgical options for your lower eyelids at this time.  Fillers can work well under the eyes to help fill in the hollow areas.  My preference would be to use one of the hyaluronic acid fillers (Restylane, Juvederm, or Belotero).  

Restylane is preferable over Juvederm for the tear troughs and experience is key for successful reuvenation of this area to replace genetically related loss of volume.

Injecting a filler such as Restylane to the tear troughs would help lift the eye and therefore hiding and shadows which cause a darker under eye circle.  Typically touch-ups are needed every 6 months to 1 year or so.  It depends on what you are happy with in your appearance.
