1ml Restylane to fill tear trough - are these results normal?

Question

I am 41 years old. This is my first cosmetic procedure. Had tear troughs filled a few weeks ago. Did not get results I was expecting at all. Is it normal to look like this immediately after the procedure? I didn't see anyone like this in all of my research prior to getting them done. First pic is immediately after procedure, second is before and after. Did something go wrong?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for sharing your question and posting your photos. From the before photos it appears you need lower eyelid blepharoplasty. Fillers are probably not suited for you. See an experienced board certified oculoplastic surgeon for comprehensive evaluation and proper guidance. Good luck!
