Hi! I had restalyne injected in my tear troughs in Dec 16. It improved the hollowness a bit but I needed more. In Nov 17 I went For my cheeks with a different doctor. Restalyne. I asked about my tear troughs and she said it won’t help because I have a herniated fat pad (almost positive that was the term) & the filler may migrate out of place. With the cannula she ended up doing a little to help with the hollowness and I can see it helped again but still there. Is this true? Can it not be fixed?
