How many syringes need to be used for under eye hollows?

Hi @Tjsims88. Thank you for your question. The tear trough every is very delicate and unforgiving. Thus, I recommend starting with 1 syringe and returning to your injector two weeks later for additional placement. Always seek treatments from expert injectors who have the skill and experience to precisely inject fillers into treatment areas and avoid risks and complications.


Best of luck,

Filling the undereye hollows usually need 2 syringes and is injected in 2 sessions 1 week apart. Expect some bruising and swelling.

I typically limit 1 syringe to this area at a time to avoid any prolonged swelling.  Sometimes fillers are needed to the cheeks to improve the under eye as well, this would require more filler there. I suggets a formal consultation with an expert filler injector.  Best, Dr. Emer.

I use 1 syringe of filler during the first treatment session and then add more if necessary. It's always easier to add more filler than take away too much filler. Make sure you find an experienced injector as this is a tricky area to treat. Best of luck.

A liquid eyelid may require one to two syringes. It is important to choose the right filler so consult with an experienced injector. Good luck!

Under the eyelids is a challenging area to improve and if over done, hard to fix. I usually start with 1 syringe (1 cc) of Restylane or Juvederm (sometimes Bellafill) slpit between both sides. It is better to under-treat and reassess in 2 weeks then to over treat. See case #398 in link below for examples

Reshaping the lower eyelid with hyaluronjc acid fillers should take place in a staged fashion. Although the amount can vary between patients (depending on the bony contours, volume loss, skin tone and pigmentation) the majority of my patients require 1 ml per session. Belotero has great viscoelastic properties for the lower eyelid facial region.
