Why is Restylane Lyft is not recommended for the under eye area ?

Restylane Lyft is a more robust filler that is appropriate for adding volume to areas like the midface. It is not usually used under the eyes, as smoother formulations tend to produce a better result. However, if you are happy with your results, I would not worry about dissolving the filler right away. Always make sure you are working with a board-certified facial plastic surgeon with extensive experience with fillers and in treating this area to ensure an optimal outcome.

Restylane Lyft is a very useful filler for mid-face, jawline and hands. However, it is too thick for putting into tear troughs. I use either Restylane Silk or Restylane which have worked well for years. Best of luck.

Hi Lola, in our practice we use Restylane Silk under the eye (as well as Belotero and Volbella) for hollows and dark circles with great success. Keep in mind that a combination approach will give the most improvement, including fillers, lasers, microneedling/PRP, and stem cells.If need be, you can always follow up with your physician and have it reversed with hyaluronidase -- or get a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for your question! Restylane Lyft is a great filler for the mid-face and cheek area. Typically, correction in this area helps with the appearance of the under eye. I prefer Restylane-L for the tear trough. The difference between the two fillers is the cross-linking of hyaluronic acid. I would not recommend reversal if you are not experiencing any side effects at this time. 
Best,

Restylane Lyft for most people is too thick for the thin skin under the eyes.  I personally prefer  Restylane, If you are happy with the restylane lyft, for nowI would do nothing. If for some reason you do not like it, it can be dissolved with hylenex.

Restylane Lyft is a great HA Filler for the cheeks but generally too thick for the tear trough area (under eyes). Other Restylane HA Fillers such as regular Restylane or Restylane Silk are more typically used for this area where the skin is very thin and minimal fat is present. But most importantly, the experienced injector's technique is what is crucial in this area. Ask your practitioner why he/she chose this Filler over others, many times it is a patient specific choice.
