How painful is Restalyne for under eye treatment or tear throughs?

Filler injection under eyes is not painful, even though it can cause bruising. It is the same reason why recovery from any eyelid surgery is not painful, even though it causes significant bruising.

The discomfort experienced from injecting Restylane in the tear trough is minimal. Your physician may use numbing cream prior to performing the injections. This can help with any associated discomfort. I would recommend seeking the advice of an experienced facial plastic surgeon, plastic surgeon, or dermatologist if you wish to have Restylane injected in the tear trough. I hope this helps, and I wish you the best of luck.

Restylane is an excellent filler for tear trough contouring. When injected with a cannula, the treatment is virtually painless and the risk of bruising is minimal.Good luck!

Pain tolerance is very different between each individual but we do apply a numbing cream to the tear troughs to make sure you're comfortable and at ease. Pain is very minimal but this is a common area patients tend to bruise do to thin skin around the eyes.

Restylane is a great filler for tear troughs.  Belotero is also an excellent choice.  Both are injected using a very very small needle, and usually the area is injected only 2-3 times (each tear trough).  Additionally, we always use a numbing cream on the areas prior to injection as well as ice.  Some patients can hardly feel a thing when we do these injections.  Typically fillers in this area are less painful than a full face procedure like a chemical peel or laser treatment.  I recommend that you consult with an experienced board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon in your area for the best and most comfortable results.
