Any regular plastic surgeon, or oculoplastic surgeon to do a tear trough filler?

Question

I'm just wondering who would be the best person for this job, somebody who deals with the eye area only and knows the ins and outs like an ocular plastic surgeon, or any plastic surgeon? I want to do this procedure but I get nervous when I see pictures of people with bruised under eyes from popped blood vessels!

To get the best results with any treatment, it is important to go to a doctor with experience, whether general plastic, oculoplastic, or facial plastic.  You can always go to the Allergan website where they list their top doctors for some recommendations.  Also, even in the most experienced hands, side effects like bleeding and bruising may occur.  Especially under the eyes where the skin is thin.  Good Luck!

Hi @aveda75! I recommend seeking treatments from expert injectors who have the skill and experience to precisely inject fillers into treatment areas and avoid risks and complications. Facial plastic surgeons and oculplastic surgeons are both great options. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!

Injecting Restylane in the tear trough is an off label use of the product. Many patients have been treated successfully, nonetheless. Have your eyes evaluated by a board certified surgeon with expertise in periocular rejuvenation to go over all your options.
