Safest and Most Effective Treatment for Hollow Eyes?

C
ckone78Jul 24, 2009

I have hollow eyes (from missing fat) which causes the dark eye circles and makes me look tired all the time. I'm seriously considering plastic surgery but want to make the safest, most effective decision. I've heard Juvederm and Restylane injections are best. but then some say fat transfer is another good option. Will there be surgical incisions to insert the fat vs. laser? I'm so confused.Has anyone actually gotten these procedures done, and have recommendations on which has worked for them? What would doctors that recommend on which ways are the most safest and long-lasting? HELP!

There is not a single depth for Juvederm - it depends on the treatment area and the results you hope to achieve. Injectors may place the filler more superficially to smooth away fine lines, but inject deeper to add volume to areas like the cheeks or jawline. Dermal fillers require a great deal...

Thank you for your question. It's possible that Botox, Jeuveau, or Dysport would give you the result you seek instead of Juvederm. Application of filler in that area can be risky but some improvements can be expected if done by an expert injector at a very superficial level. Application of...

It is not likely for any filler to have delayed migration into the gum tissues. The migration would have happened in the first 2 days of the injection. After that it is almost impossible. Regards

Yes it is common to feel a filler or implant under the skin at the beginning.  Over time the material will become less palpable and you will not feel the material only see the great result. Good luck.

It really repends on what filler was used and where in the lips it was injected.  Injecting  the wrong filler for the lips or injecting too superficially can cause lumpiness. Sometimes however, even a suitable filler injected in the right place...

In the unlikely scenario of nodules or undesirable prominence after hyaluronic acid filler injection such as Juvederm, Restylane or Perlane, tincture of time is the best solution as most will resolve in 4 weeks. As a last resort, hyaluronidase can be used to dissolve Juvederm, Restylane or Perlane.
