30 year old female. I had restylane injected in January if this year and it helped a bit - it seemed to move the crease closer to my lower eyelid rather than helping my skin lay flush. You can also see the filler a bit under my left eye in certain lighting, and part of it had to be dissolved. I'm open to possibly some sort of an implant if clinically indicated for a long term result if that's an option, this feature is genetic rather than age related but has worsened with age
Answer: Under eye area Typically fillers do well in this area. The key is selecting an experienced injector who in turn will select the appropriate product and inject it appropriately. For fine lines and wrinkles you can consider lasers, chemical peels or microneedling. These can improve overall skin tone and texture. We also recommend using medical grade skin care products and wearing sunscreen every day.

Answer: Is there a good solution to my hollow under eye area and the creasing created by smiling? Thank you for your photo and yes placement of filler is extremely important to get the flushed look under the eye. Seeing that you have had some dissolved but still not happy with the placement you may want to try another injector. Otherwise, if you wanted to try another treatment entirely, Accutite for the eye area would be a great solution for you. AccuTite Skin tightening treatment is the smallest, minimally invasive device on the market. However, filler usually does take care of the hollowness under the eye and a great option as well. For the creasing while smiling you could try the morpheus treatment which stimulates collagen and elasticity giving you an allover tighter look which may help the creasing cause when smiling. Good luck!

Answer: Improving Under Eye / Tear Trough with Injectable Fillers (Belotero, Volbella, Restylane Silk) -- add Lasers, Microneedling/PRP Fillers like Belotero, Volbella, and Restylane Silk are good for improving under the eyes, but keep in mind that a combination approach will give the most improvement. My patients try to get non-surgical treatments to avoid surgery, so we use fillers, lasers, microneedling/PRP and stem cells. I suggest consulting with an expert to develop a treatment plan best suited for you. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Proper Placement of Filler Under the Eyes This is a very common problem and question! Filler under the eyes in all about placement. It should be placed deep, along the orbital rim bone, and not in the muscle - filler placement (and even fat placement) in the muscle is a very common mistake with serious complications. Filler placed in the muscle will result in accentuation of the muscle and abnormal movement during animation. Filler placed too superficially can be seen as a blue hue, and often requires dissolution. Under eye filler placement also usually requires a combo approach with cheek filler, as part of the problem with volume loss around the eyes is a result of cheek deflation and descent. I would recommend visiting an oculoplastic surgeon for under eye filler placement, as these physicians receive dedicated training on the eye and periorbital zones. They are well familiarized with the anatomy and layers of tissue around the eyes, including exercising the highest safety standards for vision.

Answer: Dermal fillers for hollow under eye area. HI there, Everyone is not a good candidate for dermal fillers and patients need to be chosen carefully. For instance patients with bags under the eyes with skin laxity, are not good candidates. Other things to consider would be the thickness of the skin, hyperactive muscles around the eyes, and skin texture. If fillers are not placed deeply they can migrate and interfere when the patient smiles and moves the muscles of facial expression. It would be helpful to see your baseline pictures to see if you were a good candidate in the first place. The nice thing about dermal fellas is that they can be dissolved.
