Which filler is best for upper eyelid hollowing: Restalyne or Belotero?

Question

Is restalyne or belotero better and why? Is there another better type of filler for the upper eyelid? How do doctors prevent bumps and lumps in such a thin area as the upper eyelid?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Generally speaking, no fillers should be used in the upper or the lower eyelid area where the skin is extremely thin with a very strong muscle surrounding the eye. The squeezing action of that muscle causes the filler to migrate, creating bumps and bagginess. The best filler for around the eye area is the patients own fat. When fat grafting is done by an expert plastic surgeon, the results are natural and permanent. I hope this helps and good luck from New York City Plastic Surgery.

Hi there,

Both fillers are great.  Its all about the injection technique.  Placement is key so do your homework and make sure you go to a very qualified board certified injector.

Best of luck!
