What Filler for Outer/corner Eye Hollow (Not Tear Trough) Would Work for Me? (photo)

Treating lower eyelid hollows at the corners of the eyes is a very common treatment. In general, I must treat at least three every single day. Treatment usually requires a rather easy and painless injection--often only a single injection--placed via the cheekbone area through a cannula directed into the hollow and then molded and contoured into place. Properly done, this particular technique literally takes no more than a couple of minutes per side. The filling and leveling of the hollow is typically immediate and typically engenders a "Wow!" on the part of patients. While Restylane (often diluted) has been used for this purpose, I prefer Belotero Balance, as this product has not been associated with the bluish Tyndall effect, sometimes seen when hyaluronic acid fillers are placed too superficially in the skin. Consultation with a board certified aesthetic physician with extensive experience in treating the areas under and around the eyes is a must.

Restylane works well in this area (in addition to the tear trough) and should help you achieve a smoother transition from the eyelid to the cheek.

This lateral area of hollowing is just as important as the tear trough for achieving a youthful transition from the lower eyelid to the cheek. Restylane and Belotero are the fillers of choice in this sensitive thin skinned area because they are the least puffy appearing.  This area is very unforgiving so the injection must be perfectly done.
