My doctor suggested to treat some hollowness I have under the eyes (not bags) with hyaluronic acid. My cheeks are a bit droppes and she wants to inject in their upper part and also right under the eyes. She said that in this area the fillers can last more than two years and up to six. Is it true? Thanks in advance
Answer: Fillers Thank you for your question, The fillers that I typically choose to use in this area of the face usually last 1-2 years depending on the filler of choice. I think it is important to state that patients who have bags under their eyes typically are not good candidates for this procedure, because usually the bags can be accentuated leading to a unpleasant result. Fillers can be used to lift cheeks and have a great satisfaction rating. I usually like to use Voluma for cheek lifting. Voluma can last up to 2 years. For under the eyes, I will either choose Volbella for mild hollowness or Vollure for moderate cases. For severe I may perform a combination of the 2 at separate appointments. I think a picture of you would help us give you better advice.

Answer: Under Eye Fillers Hyaluronic acid fillers that are thin work well under the eyes when properly injected. I like Vollure made into microdots and injected deeply with a 31 gauge needle. Vollure is said to last up to 1 1/2 years. I have never seen a HA filler last anywhere close to 6 years. Best Wishes, Maurice Vick MD

Answer: Filler To Treat Tear Troughs Typically under eye fillers last between 1-2 years. 6 years seems a little far-fetched. When injecting the tear troughs some patients also gain a bit of volume in the cheeks. Helping to correct the under eye area and also lift the cheek. Best of luck

Answer: Under eye fillers Fillers can be a beautiful treatment option for hollowness under the eyes. I generally use a thin hyularonic-acid filler such as Juvederm Ultra or Volbella in this area. I have seen it last up to 2 years, but have never seen it last much longer than that.
