I have had fillers under my eyes in the past, but they always look good for about three weeks and then start creating bigger bags under my eyes than what I had before. Is there any filler out there that will help give that lifted and smooth look under the eye, without creating too much fluid under they eyes? My mid cheek area has also started to deflate slightly. I do have a history of seasonal allergies and have tried Perlane, juvederm, and restylane in this area before. Thank you in advance!
Answer: Puffiness from fillers Patients who have a tendency to get puffy under the eyes even without fillers, or after fillers, have a problem that can be difficult to treat. Beletero is the least likely to draw water to it, and should be placed deeply with a blunt-tipped cannula, for best results. Voluma wil help the volume of the upper cheeks and is unlikely to add to any swelling. You may even wish to have this done, as this filler sometimes helps tear troughs by redraping the skin.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Tear Trough Hi @Pinkwillow. Most facial filler products that are injected into this area should ideally be placed in the tissue plane directly on top of the bone, or at least underneath the eyelid muscle layer. If a facial filler product is placed too superficial in the skin, or on top of the muscle layer, the product may settle in with an abnormal appearance and can look to be lumpy, swollen, or irregular. Restylane, Juvederm, and Belotero work great for the Tear Trough. Best of luck!

Answer: How to minimize water retention after filler injection ? For the cheek, one can use Radiesse as safe filler with least water retention property. For the lower eyelids, it might be best to use Belotero or Restylane. The amount and location of the filler injection matters too.

Answer: Filler Under the Eyes Hi PW. While we do not know your case, it is possible that the puffiness you see is due to the injection technique rather than the filler used. We use Restylane exclusively under the eyes as it just works best with that area. We also use a deep injection technique "under the muscle". When the product is placed too superficially it can look like your bags got bigger and the product is lumpy. Perhaps it's time for a consultation with another injector. For examples of before and after photos of Orange County, CA patients that have had dermal fillers under the eyes, check the link below.

Answer: Tear Trough and Cheek Fillers Thank you for your question. You bring up important considerations. The lower eyelids show even a hint of overfill and this can happen from the filler absorbing water after injection. While there are certainly very skilled injectors that use Juvederm (often diluted) and underfill initially with the understanding that it will plump further, in my opinion, this is still less precise than getting it right while the patient is still in my office. I prefer to use Belotero (Restylane is also a very good product that does not absorb water after injection). Both are silky smooth and don't form lumps with proper injection technique. In regards to your cheeks, you have several options here as the injection is done considerably deeper and thus the results are more forgiving than around the eyes. Voluma or Radiesse are common products to place in this area and can give you the volume replacement you desire. I have taken to blunt tip cannulas for this type of injection to reduce post injection swelling and bruising. Best of luck!
