Skin Tightening Under Eyes VS. Fillers, Which Would Work Best? (photo)

August 12, 2013
Asked By:Vally87 in London, GB

I had a small Restylane injection 9 months ago under my eyes and it virtually eliminated the tear troughs that you see in photo 1 and 2. I need it again now, a doctor suggested skin tightening OR Perlane. I am curious about skin tightening, is it effective underneath eyes or should I just get Perlane? The desired look is Photo number 2 and Photo number 3, when my skin was nice and tight around the eyes. Would skin tightening around the eyes achieve this look? Any advice is greatly appreciated.
