Do PRP injections give volume in tear through?

Question

Hyaluronic acid causes Tyndall. Would PRP fill in the undereye and in general the cheeks and face?

Jack G. Bertolino, MD · Answer

You can use PRP anywhere. Adding a thin HA filler in small amounts (Restylane Refyne), and layering PRP on top of it works well and lasts longer. PRP is safe and lends itself to beautiful results if done right. Hope this helps. JB See our Instagram at smooth_solutions for pictures.

Hi @Bostongirl2019! This was an excellent question. Unfortunately,  PRP does not add volume to the face. However, it work well for hyperpigmentation, dark circles, bags, and collagen formation.  To add volume,  you would need to use dermal fillers.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

No, prp is not designed for volume enhancement. For volume correction, you would need to use traditional HA based fillers. See an expert to go over your options. Best, Dr. Emer.

PRP as a filler differs from traditional HA's. While initially it will add volume, this quickly dissipates. Residual growth factors can improve fine lines and textural issues. However, for long term volumization or lift, HA fillers remain the gold standard.As always, discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon (ABPS).Donovan Rosas MD

PRP can give some volume to the tear trough. It can improve pigmentation in the infraorbital area. When injected into the cheeks or applied with microneedling or laser,  wrinkles and texture will improve. It does not have the same lifting potential as a filler.Jeff Rapaport MD FAADRealself Verified All-star
