Can I correct blepharoplasty with Renuva filler?

Question

I have a small depression under my left eye after a blepharoplasty and I would like to fix it for life I hope. I don't like lipofilling because it's an invasion procedure. Can I correct my problem with renova Filler? Does Renova fit close to the eyes?

Renuva is not a filler, it is a volumizer. When injected, Renuva acts like a honeycomb type matrix that is gradually replaced with the body’s own fat cells – about 3 to 6 months post-treatment. Renuva can be injected anywhere fat naturally exists in the body. In terms of your question though, the makers of Renuva do not recommend that Renuva be injected under the eye area because the eyelids typically have very thin layers of adipose tissue, which are very sensitive to showing contour irregularities (such as a lump). In the face, Renuva is ideal for replacing age-related volume loss (fat pad loss) in the cheeks, temples, nasolabial folds, and can also be injected into the jawline and neck. Online photos are helpful, but in the end there’s no substitute for having an in-person consultations with a talented local plastic surgeon – who can examine you properly, and who is experienced with Renuva and knows if it should be used to treat your particular area of concern.
