How Long Does Ha Under the Eyes Really Last?

Hi Fureo.  We have found Restylane to be the preferred product for the under eye (tear trough) area and find that it lasts about 1 year.  

The product is going to look better when injected under the muscle and so we think finding a practitioner that uses Restylane or Juvederm and injects under the muscle is most important.  Stay away from thicker fillers like Radiesse in this area as it can cause problems.

As for how long it lasts, only you will be able to say once it's injected.  Good luck.

There is a lot of variability for duration of hyaluronic acid filler in the under eye area. On the short end of duration it can be as little as 6 months, but I've seen filler last well beyond 2 or 3 years in that location. Longer duration is more likely in areas that are not under constant motion like the lips are.

The under eye area is a great place for HA filler, but this is an advanced injection technique and should only be performed by a physician who is skilled and comfortable with this area. It is a very rewarding place to place filler and can create a very rejuvenating appearance in the right candidate.

It's important to only get a hyaluronic acid filler in the under eye, or tear trough, and not Radiesse. It's is not the proper product for that location.

The HA's or hyaluronic acid fillers can be used safely under the eyes but it has to be done expertly.  I usualy use restylane because of the smaller particle size and easier malleability especially when diluted. It usualy lasts 6 months but may last longer.
