Everything I have read about tear troughs seems to refer to volumizing the orbital area by placing filler underneath the eye muscle. However, how are patients treated when their hollowness is on or below the orbital rim? I have hollowness starting from my the top of my orbital rim to the top of my upper cheeks. Can fillers like Restylane be successfully molded on such a thin-skinned, bony area?

Answer: Juvederm, Restylane, and Radiesse are good fillers for this area
Hi @sunshine26! This is an excellent questions. Most facial filler products that are injected into this area should ideally be placed in the tissue plane directly on top of the bone, or at least underneath the eyelid muscle layer. If a facial filler product is placed too superficial in the skin,...
Fillers such as Restylane or Juvederm should do just fine but need to be done is small increments such as 3-4 sessions over a few weeks at $550 per syringe and usually need 2-3 syringes.
That is too early for the filler to go away. It is possible that the correction was not full initialy and the swelling gave a masking effect. It is not uncommon to need more filler to have a full correction. To be sure you might want to use a different kind of filler this time. Hope that helps!
