Will filler (restylane) under eye help to reduce lower eyelid retraction? (photo)

July 22, 2014
Asked By:NataliaCA in Los Angeles, CA

I had hyper thyroid for years. My blood work is normal now and I am off the meds. But it affected my eyes. At times they seem better. But with stress, bad sleep and etc they get worse immediately. Surgery would be the last resort for me. For now I was thinking to inject restylane under eyes. The doctor didn't give me promise to get my lower eye lid to go up, he said it will improve my look for sure, but he doesn't know by how much. Is it worth my time and money to try that?
