Is it safe to inject Restylane under the eyes to help with blue/purple tint?

March 20, 2018
Asked By:sandy248 in Dallas, TX

I've had my tear trough injected with Restylane before. However this time I want to ask my doctor to inject directly under the eyes since my skin is so thin under the eyes creating a blue/purple tint under my eyes. I've been told by my previous doctor that fillers should not be placed directly under the eyes but watched youtube videos where it's done. How safe is it to inject under the eye vs just the tear trough area.
