I'm of East Indian origin and I have hereditary dark under eye circles. I have very thin skin under my eyes and a deep depressions in the inner cornes of my eyes and wrinkles. I'm trying to decide between getting Restylane injections to correct the hollowness or get Fat Grafting. I've read some pretty scary stories about both procedures and I'm not sure which is safer. Thank you
Answer: Fat injection vs Restylane Fat injection, even in the best of hands, has the chance for lumpiness. This lumpiness can be difficult to correct. Especially in young patients we prefer Prevelle or Restylane.

Answer: Fat or Restylane Both fat and Restylane can be used to fill out hollows under the eyes. Fat has the advantage of being permanent but is a bit more unpredictable. For those who want quick fixes with little to no downtime, Restylane is the appropriate choice. For those who want more volume and permanent results with added downtime, fat is the better option.

Answer: Restylane Although you may have heard scary things about both procedures the incidence of them happening is quite low. That being said the potential bad things that can happen from fillers are generally less severe and usually reversible when compared to fat transfer.

Answer: Filler vs. Fat injections Restylane or Juvederm, both hyaluronic acids, are commonly used, off-label (not FDA approved for this use, but doctors may legally perform the procedure) for this purpose.

Answer: Restylane versus fat grafting in tear troughs The key is not the procedure but who does the procedure. Either might be appropriate for you -- and they are not the only options. There are other fillers, biostimulators and devices that might be approrpriate. The addition of the right cosmeceuticals can also make the difference in your results. My recommendation is that you seek a consult with an experienced physician board certified in a core cosmetic specialty like dermatology. Review your concerns and your goals with her and have a clear discussion about your options, risks and benefits. I hope this helps answer your question. Best wishes.
