Would You Recommend Dermal Fillers for Under Eye Hollows? (photo)

Using fillers to add volume to depressed areas under the eyes is an off-label use for fillers, however, it is a very commonly performed procedure.  The results can be very dramatic.  Care must be taken to use the correct filler.  Thicker filler materials such as Radiesse should be avoided in this area as they may create palpable or even visible lumps or lines.  Hyaluronic fillers such as Restylane are ideal for this area.  The use of blunt-tipped needles may decrease the risk of nicking a blood vessel and creating bruising under the eye.

I have had great success injecting the lower lid hollows with Restylane or Belotero. It is a difficult procedure to master, so I would suggest seeing someone with a great deal of experience with this procedure. There is often bruising from the injections, so don't have it done right before a big event. Because there is very little facial movement in that region, the cosmetic results may last a year or more.
