I have severe dry eye but would love to have the restylene injections for my dark circles/tired look. Does this have any impact on the eyes themself? Also, I read in another question about restylene in the lips not lasting any more then a week. I had the same problem with getting my lips injected. I received 1cc, looked great when I left due to the swelling. By the following week you would never know I had it done. I was curious if my lips didn't last could the same happen with the eye troughs.

Answer: Dry eyes and filler The tear trough deformity is separate from the lacrimal system, which controls tearing and moisturization of the eye. Filler won't help dry eyes, but it shouldn't make it worse. As for the longevity of fillers, it can last for 1-2 years when injected in the tear trough. There is always temporary swelling after injection, whether in the lips or in the tear trough, that disappears within two weeks. That may explain the "temporary" result experienced in the lips. You may need more filler to see a difference, which was artificially created from post-procedure swelling.

Answer: Yes. 1. Restylane does not affect tearing or dry eyes, therefore it would not make it worse.2. Restylane should definitely last longer than a week, if you have had a bad experience with restylane, then I would suggest a different filers (Juvederm).3. Usually filler lasts longer in the lower eyelids (8-10 months).All the Best!Dr. Tony Perkins.
