Are my tear troughs too hollow to be filled? I can not afford fat grafting but was told fillers are too dangerous. (Photos)

Asked By:Cara1180 in Elk Grove, California

Was booked for Restylane for my tear troughs, but went to another dermatologist to get a second opinion. She said fillers are dangerous and risk blindness, that it is too difficult (she is a highly respected surgical dermatologist). Said my thin undereye skin mixed with fat cheeks, the amount of filler needed would make me look like I have edema and make my eyes look worse and even darker, and that there's nothing I can do to correct it. Can't afford fat graft, is there anything else I can do?
