I'm 23 years old. I've had dark circles for as long as I can remember. I'm frustrated with the way it looks. I talked to a doctor in my area about fillers and they recommended bellafill. It would cost me about $1100 for each syringe; however the doctor recommended half a syringe on each eye. I'd like to get more opinions on what I should do.
