I have dark and recessed under eye hallows and went to get restylane to correct the problem. After two weeks of major swelling, I was left with little pools of the product under each eye and still had hollowed out under eye circles! I went to see a plastic surgeon who injected said it may not have been injector error, maybe my anatomy just doesn't support a "filled in" under eye area. The rest of my face looks good for my age (42) but my eyes look old, do I just have to live with it?

Answer: Hollow eyes and Restylane
Restylane works great in mild hollowness of lower eyelids only in the 'Tear Trough' areas. If you have large fat bulges or have hollowness more on the sides away from the nose, then the result is not as great. In those cases Blepharoplasty is the only good solution.

Answer: Restylane for Under Eyes
Hi Toluca. We'd be happy to give our opinion, but you would need to post photos before and after the procedure to give you a better idea. The "pools" of product you mention does not sound right. If your injector were to inject under the muscle, which is the most widely accepted way to inject for this procedure, you should not wind up with pools of product. That's not to say that you wouldn't be disappointed with your results, but pools of product sounds like a superficial injection and that you should find someone that injects under the muscle. Good luck.
