Genetic Tear Trough Problems? (photo)

March 21, 2013
Asked By:sunday21 in Denver

I have really bad tear troughs (from genetics) that i've had since I was a little girl and now I'm looking into what I can do about them. I know the options are Juvederm and Restylane. On here it seems Restylane is the preferred one. I would just like to know if I'm a good candidate for it based on my picture (bad quality sorry). I am still really young (early 20's) and my skin is super thin and I'm really veiny under my eyes so I don't know if that plays a factor. Thank you if you can help.
