Is it OK to get under eye filler if you have severe dry eye?

Thank you for your question.  Typically having dry eyes is not a contraindication for having your tear trough injected with Restylane.  I would suggest speaking with your injector and as long as they say it's okay then I would continue.  Best of luck to you. 

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan. It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Hi @fml1937! You can receive tear trough fillers despite having dry eyes. 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!

Thank you for sharing your question. There is no problem with having fillers injected even if you have dry eyes. See an eye/ facial surgeon (oculoplastic surgeon) for comprehensive evaluation and discussion of treatment options. Good luck!

Thank you for your question. You can be treated with fillers for your tear trough without affecting your dry eyes. Make sure you schedule a consultation with an experienced physician for optimal results. Hope this helps.

There is no contraindication for tear trough injections and dry eyes.  That being said, this is a high risk area that should only be injected by a board certified plastic surgeon.  Make sure to have a consultation prior to treatment to discuss best treatment options.  kh

Lower eyelid filler should not negatively effect your dry eye symptoms. In fact, the support that the filler can give the lower lids could theoretically help dry eye symptoms. It is unlikely, but the filler certainly won't worsen the dry eye symptoms.Andrew Campbell, M.D.Quintessa

Yes, you can still have filler treatment.  Having dry eyes is not a contraindication for under eye fillers.  Be sure to see an experienced injector for optimal results.

If you have severe dry eye, there should be no concern when getting under eye filler.  The dryness should have absolutely no effect on the way the filler works with your body. 

No, dry eyes is not a contraindication for tear trough filler. I would mention the dry eyes to your treating physician prior to the filler treatment.
