Why Are Restylane Injections (Undereye Hollows) So Expensive?

While we charge more on the line of $450 to $550 a syringe, I rarely use two syringes per eye area.  Generally, one will suffice and overdoing it will only lead to issues if you aren't satisfied.

My recommendation is to go slowly initially and see how you like it.  You can always do more in the future.  Now, if four syringes were tackling the face areas that might be understandable, but to just do the under eye hollows, that could even be too much unless you need quite a bit of correction. 

As for the implants, they have a pretty awful track record.  They don't stay in place very often and when your facial structure ages they can look odd as they have no ability to be redone as with fillers like Restylane, Juvederm or Perlane.  That makes them a challenge if you change over time (which everyone does!). 

Good luck!

Every practice has a different price but are often very competitive when it comes to dermal fillers. If you're visiting with a reputable and well-known provider and practice that does a lot of volume, you may see slightly better pricing. Do some research in your area as well for reputable providers.

The under eye area is the most sensitive treatment area of the face for fillers.  The results can be fantastic but this is an advanced treatment area.  The best services require pains taking attention to detail.  The product can simply be slammed into the face.  The top physicians and surgeon also command the highest prices.  Orbital rim implants are no substitute for under eye fillers.  If you and your surgeon think placing a tear trough implant is cheaper for you in the long run than having a properly done (but expensive) under eye filler service, both of you are in for disappointment.  Additionally, the under eye fillers can be adjusted in a way that his impossible to be down for implants. 

Fees vary.  My fee is lower and I think that you might want to comparison shop to verify that other skilled injectors in your area are in the same price range.  All of the cosmoceuticals and injectibles cost plenty for the doctor to purchase from the manufacturer and, actually, the supplement for his time and expertise isn't terribly high.  I personally find the notion of 4 syringes in a single sitting for the lower eyelids to be high.  You haven't posted a photograph but generally I use 1-2 syringes for this area, so this is another issue that you should resolve by additional consultations.

The fee for restylane will vary around the country.  There are several ways to treat the lower lid region: sometimes surgical and sometimes filler, and sometimes a combination.  Fat grafting ti also an alternative.
