I agree with the other physicians -- small amounts of soft tissue fillers can help with the shadowing and hollowness in the under eye area. In this area, I use Restylane or Belotero Balance. In addition, I generally use micro-cannulas for this area to minimize bruising.
Based on the photo provided I think you would get a great result using Restylane for the tear troughs, this will help eliminate the dark shadow and also the hollowness. I suggest you seek a reputable board certified physician for an in-person evaluation
Fillers are your best choice, as they are safe, effective and relatively long lasting around the eyes. Another options is tear trough implant, which is obviously more invasive but permanent. See an oculoplastic surgeon for consideration.
Hi Kobefan24,Time to become a fan of another player, looks like Kobe's days of greatness are nearly over. Also, time to discuss this with your parents if you are serious about having treatment. You are not ugly, and frankly filling your tear trough will not overcome the way you are feeling about yourself. The only treatment for your tear troughs would be using Restylane to fill them. Even though you are young, Restylane lasts for a long time in this immobile area. Using something more permanent such as fat transfer is not indicated at your young age because of the risks of hypertrophy of the fat as you get older and gain weight.Most importantly choose your injected physician most carefully for this delicate and unforgiving area. Good luck and be well.Dr. PEncino, CA
Hi KF. With your age and the texture, Restylane would be a great option. Restylane is a hyaluronic acid based dermal filler that provides facial volume. It's great for filling out the area under your eyes that is set back and will help with the contours of the area as well as the color.You can find examples of similar patient treatments at the link below.
