How many syringes of Restylane will I need for tear troughs? (Photo)

Thank you for sharing your question and photos. We usually recommend 1 syringe of Restylane for the majority of our patients as a starting point. It is always easy to add more, whereas over filling can look odd and can be more noticeable than the hollows themselves. In our practice, we use a blunt tipped microcannula technique, which practically eliminates bruising and only requires 1 needle stick on either side. I recommend consulting with a board certified dermatologist, facial plastic surgeon, oculofacial plastic surgeon, or plastic surgeon who uses the microcannula technique in order to achieve the best outcome possible. In our opinion, there is never a reason to inject the delicate tear trough with a needle, as is still being done in most practices.  

I use a combination approach with cannula injections to limit complications.  Its best to do small amounts of injection over time to limit swelling.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Yes, I think you would benefit from filler to your tear troughs. I use Restylane in the tear trough area. Typically I use 1 syringe and divide it between both sides. There will be some swelling and possible bruising so make sure you have enough recovery time before your special event.  Please consult a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon experienced in tear trough injections. Best wishes.
