Hi Doctors, I have a deep area under my eyes. I am 45 years old. I did filler in tear trough ( volbella) three months ago. At that time there was some improvement but now under my eyes area looks like before again. What can I do to look better and last for at least one year. Thx
Answer: Tear Trough Hi @relazb. I would recommend trying another product like Restylane or Belotero. Always seek treatments from expert injectors who have the skill and experience to precisely inject fillers into treatment areas and avoid risks and complications. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!

Answer: Two months? Volbella is a nice filler. In my opinion, based on the description of the depth of your tear trough you needed a different filler, and one with a higher g prime, for a better lift of the deep tear trough. Consider Restylane next time. You should also think about getting a full correction. Lack of a full correction is the number one cause of dissatisfaction with this area. Best wishes, Dr. Aldo

Answer: Consider repeat injection or perhaps Blepharoplasty It is better to under-inject this area than to overfill, because the skin is very delicate here consider having your surgeon re-inject the area with a larger volume, and understand that in some cases eyelid swelling/bags may require surgery to remove excessive fat/ski and in some cases laser resurfacing for skin tightening to have a durable, long lasting result for eye rejuvenation. Best of luck!

Answer: Tear Trough Question Thank you for your question! Although I like to use volbella in the tear troughs for some younger patients, and patients in need of less correction, it is not my first pick for patients that have a deeper groove, or require more volume. Restylane is my preferred product of choice when I do not use volbella because it has a different g prime that provides more correction to the area. Restylane is also a full 1cc, whereas volbella is roughly half that size. It is my opinion that you probably need additional product as the product dissolving in two months is highly unlikely. My best advice would be to meet with a board-certified facial plastic surgeon's office to be assessed and treated. I hope this is helpful to you!Be well,Dr. Todd Hobgood, MD
