I'm wondering about the current line of thinking about the use of Bellafill under the eyes for dark circles. I see some doctors here not recommending it be used there, although some of those remarks are a couple years old.

Answer: BellaFill This is a technically difficult area to inject. I would suggest a "dilute" BellaFill (mixed 1:1 with lidocaine) placed just on top of the orbital rim. Inject no more than 0.5cc of dilute BellaFill for each eyelid and then touch up if more volume wanted. Be very careful to only use an injector experienced with BellaFill.

Answer: Bellafill in Tear Troughs I use fat, Bellafill and hyaluronic acids under the eye. Although the HA do attract water and have the possibility of a Tindall Effect that has not been a major problem for me. This may be because I place my filler very deep, just over the bone, which gives a very natural result. It is a great choice for a patient who wants to "try out" the filler. Fat is great because it is permenant but a little more involved to get with a little more down time. Bellafill has been a great office option for my patints as well.
