Restylane or juvaderm for under eye fat? (photo)

I have been treating under eye problems with fillers of all kinds for more than twenty years, since the days of Zyderm collagen. The use of Belotero Balance, which has little tendency to give rise to the unwanted bluish discoloration known as the Tyndall Effect, and diluted Restylane L, are these days my favorites for treating the under eye area. Juvederm tends to hold on to more water and sometimes can accentuate the baggy look under the eyes as a result of this.Using blunt tip cannulas, we now have greater control of where we deposit the filler material and are less likely to cause temporary bruises when treating this exceedingly delicate region. The results are immediate,  very gratifying and, particularly in this location that is less prone to a lot of movement, tend to be relatively long-lasting.

Restylane is my preferred filler for the under eye area as is Boletero.  Juvederm is too thick for the delicate under eye area.  As you age you will probably need a blepharoplasty to remove the under eye bags since this is a genetic condition and not a function of your age.  Please find a board certified physician for the best cosmetic results.

Fillers would definitely help out smooth the contours of your lower eyelids.  I would suggest either Belotero or Restylane, both work well in the lower eyelids.And yes in the future I would suggest a trans-conjunctival lower blepharoplasty to remove the far pads.All the best!Sincerely, Dr. Tony Perkins.

If there is excessive under eye fat, it can be reduced with laser or surgically removed. For many people, surgery is not a great option or a wanted option, and so the fat can be "hidden" to some degree with a filler in the tear trough below the fat pad which blends the fat into the cheek below with less contrast. Restylane is my preferred filler in this location, though others like Juvederm and Belotero are also good. ~ Dr. Benjamin Barankin, Toronto Dermatology Centre.

The fat beneath the eye can be masked by injecting any of several hyaluronic acid fillers (Juvederm, Restylane, Belotero) beneath the fat in the tear trough area.  Radiofrequency (laser-like energy device) treatment, Thermage or Exilis will also often improve the appearance of this area, and may be used in conjunction with the fillers.
