Are my Under Eye Circles and Hollows Related to Sinuses/deviated Septum? Could Restylane Help? (photo)

Asked By:catan

Late 20's and recently moved to a high alt, dry climate. I've had subtle circles for a while, but in the last year they've gotten much worse. They are a purple/blue and also sunken/hollow, particularly around the tear trough. I've been having nasal congestion issues during sleep, so I saw an ENT who diagnosed a deviated septum. My questions are: -Could the congestion/deviated septum be related to the circles/sunken look? If so, would a septoplasty correct them? -Would Restylane be a good option for me?
