I've seen complaints about the filler not lasting long enoug in the under area. How long does it usually last?

Hi @thatdude107! Tear trough fillers typically last 9-12 months.  I recommend seeking treatments from expert injectors who have the skill and experience to precisely inject fillers into treatment areas and avoid risks and complications. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!

Restylane can last up to 1 year. It's important to get a full correction while not overfilling the area with too much product. Be sure to see an experienced injector.Warmest regards, Dr. Aldo

Restylane generally lasts 1+ year under eye the first time it is injected. Repeat injections tend to last longer. Technique and exact position of the filler also matters.

Restylane injection in the tear trough region works very well and may last up to 12 months depending on the depth of injection and the amount injected.  Injections in this area can be tricky and must not be superficial as it will result in an unsatisfactory result.Hope that helps.

Restylane typically lasts between 5-12 months. Results can vary greatly depending on technique and amount used. I recommend using cannulas with injections to reduce complications. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Hi TD.  Our expectation for patients varies between 6-12 months.  He amount of product used does make a difference and there is variability between patients.  For examples of results, click the link below for tear trough before and after photos.

Thank you for posting your question. The duration of the product seems to be different for each individual patient. The more filler that is injected, the longer it will last. The lower eyelid region (tear trough) must be very carefully injected in order to avoid serious complications. See an experienced eyelid specialist for your treatment.

In most cases, Restylane under the eyes will last up to 9 months with optimal results. Patients are encouraged to receive treatments every 6 months to maintain their results.

Andrew Pichler, MD · Answer

The duration of restylane varies from person to person. Can be 4-12 months.  If you had it done before elsewhere it will give you some guidance. Expert injection is important especially under the eye.
