Can Cheek Fillers Such As Restylane Help Diminish Appearance of Undereye Bags?

Fillers such as Restylane, Juvederm and Radiesse can be a very good option for the under eye area particularly in younger patients. In this intstance it is correcting either volume loss such as you describe or simply facial structure. If you like the results then a longer-lasting option such as fat transfer might be considered once the filler has gone.

Yes, Restylane or Perlane or Juvederm (but NOT Sculptra or Radiesse) are well suited for injections under the eye lids. There are a few caveats to these injections: they need to be placed deeply and by someone that has experience doing it. They are not a substitute for surgery in the case that the person has loose eyelids that need to have the extra tissue removed or the lid tightened. They need to be placed gradually so you dont get over corrected. I try to correct gradually.

Finally, these injections may be associated with bruising and swelling for a few days.
