I know Restylane seems to be the gold standard for under eyes but I have seen recently some injectors using Defyne and I like that it is supposed to last longer than regular Resylane. I know it's up to the individual injector about what they use but, any thoughts? Also, where else do you like using it?

Answer: Restylane Defyne Remember HA fillers draw water and can cause swelling. For tear troughs I like using Restylane Refyne. It is thinner and causes less swelling. I do tear troughs in 2 sittings over 7 days to get the best result. Restylane Defyne is thicker and is great for the mid face and cheeks. That helps enhance the tear troughs as well. See a provider and ask questions. Hope this helps. JB

Answer: Defyne for Tear Troughs Hi and thanks for your question! Defyne can be used under the eyes, but I don't think its the ideal filler for that area. When I have used it, I have seen more swelling than I do now using a product like Versa. Restylane is fine, but its easier to get a perfectly smooth contour with a softer filler like Versa. In terms of duration, most of the HA fillers we use last for a very long time under the eyes. If injected correctly, a filler there will last for up to 6 years. I tell my patients to expect 2 to 3 years, but be pleasantly surprised when it lasts for more. Hope that helps.
