Is still the case that under eye thin skin is difficult to treat with filler? (Photos)

Asked By:MAD333

Hi!I see a dermatologist for routine filler and Botox but just noticed how thin and wrinkled the skin under my eyes look. I haven't had any treatments there and it really shows. Historically, I've heard this area is difficult to treat with filler and I'm wondering if this is still the case. Are there risks involved or the possibility for the area to look worse? I'm a 53 year old female with Type 3 skin. Thank you in advance for sharing your expertise.
