Hi Ozz. Just based on the fact that you described the area under the eyes as having "loose skin" may make you a less than ideal candidate for this procedure. We use something called a "pinch test" to determine if a patient is a candidate. Good candidates can pinch the skin under their eyes between their forefinger and thumb and have the skin "snap back" into place fairly quickly and immediately. If the skin stays bunched up for more than a second then the patient may not be a good candidate for the under eye injections. If you have to much loose skin, then you should consider surgery. Good luck.
Restylane can be used to fill the depression or the tear trough, but it is less than optimal for loose skin. Loose skin in the area of the lower eyelid may be more amenable to lower eyelid surgery.
In general, Restylane is a great option for filling in the tear trough. It will not address any loose skin that is present. This is something that is generally corrected with surgery. I hope this helps, and I wish you the best of luck!
It is very difficult to answer this question without first viewing photographs or seeing you in person - before and after pictures would be best. You should consider posting pictures for an idea of what you are referring to.
I would not recommend Restylane to treat excess skin under the eyes. Restylane can be used to fill in tear trough depressions (hollow areas under the eyes) but as a filler, would not really treat excess skin. Excess skin usually needs to be addressed surgically or with a laser.
