Loss of volume and hollows under my eyes, what would be the best treatment to solve this problem?

Question

Hi, I'm 37, and have hollows under my eyes :( . When I don't wear makeup I always get you "look so tired". I know fillers will work, but I'm so nervous because I keep reading horror stories of fillers gone wrong undereyes. What are my options? I live north of Boston, if anyone has any suggestions I would be very greatful! I've tried every cream under the sun they really don't work. Thanks Kate

Hi @hairchick38. I recommend seeking treatments from expert injectors who have the skill and experience to precisely inject fillers into treatment areas and avoid risks and complications. Restylane and Belotero both work great for the tear trough.

Best of luck,

Dr. Nima

Hairchick,Fillers under the eyes require a lot of skill and experience.  However, once you find an expert person to take care of you the risks are low.  Furthermore, if a hyaluronic filler is used (such as something in the restylane line), it is typically reversible if something didn't sit right with you.

Photos or an examination of you would be needed to give you the best advice.  Sometimes, there can be a hollow area under the eye due to puffiness above it.  Sometimes there is just the hollowness by itself.  If there is puffiness due to fat, this can be improved with surgery and reducing the fat can improve the hollow area underneath.  The other treatment option would be using a filler to add volume to the hollow area.  This can be done if there is only hollowness or hollowness due to a puffy area above it.  I would recommend using a hyaluronic acid filler such as Restylane if you opt to have a filler.

Fillers are an effective and safe way to achieve excellent under eye cosmetic results for volume loss. My recommendation is that you do a consultation with a physician who has specialized training and experience with filler procedures (such as injection of Juvederm, Belotero, etc...). Your physician will also recommend the best product to help you achieve your goal.

Hi fellow Bostonian,
Hollowness under the eyes at age 37 is very common. The great thing is that we have SIMPLE and very effective Solutions with new and improved HA fillers. I particularly like the layering technique using Restylane Defyne or Refyne with the Restylane Lyft. For more details you can see my short video below.
Best, Dr. Onir
