How much Restylane does it take to fill tear troughs? Will one syringe (1cc) be enough?

Hi @tracikitty! I recommend starting with 1 syringe of filler. Always seek treatments from expert injectors who have the skill and experience to precisely inject fillers into treatment areas and avoid risks and complications. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!

The amount of Restylane needed completely depends on the patient's anatomy. Different facial structure can make it easier or harder to fill the unwanted lines and depressions. In my experience, a patient usually needs between .5 to 1.0 syringe per visit. This is an unforgiving area as there is thin skin overlying. I never overfill and would rather do touch ups after a couple weeks to get the best appearance I can. See a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon for best results with your injections.

The amount of filler needed is variable and individualized. I suggest a formal consultation and find someone who injects with cannulas to limit complications.  Best, Dr. Emer.

For the tear trough area, usually 0.5 to 1cc filler is enough to fill out but it can be up to 1.5cc or a bit more. It all depends on the anatomy.  See an oculoplastic specialist.

usually one is more than enough!  it is important to prevent bumping.  Afshin Farzadmehr

I do not see any pictures to answer you with accuracy.However in most patients it takes two syringes or restyle or better yet prelude to restore the nano-labial folds.You must know that the results of these injectable fillers are surgeon dependent but also dose dependent.This means that if you need two but only get one you may be satisfied or you may not. But even one syringe will be an obvious improvement.

Hi Traci. We would need a picture to make a recommendation.  We use between 1 - 2 CC's of Restylane normally.

The amount of Restylane required for tear troughs is dependent upon the patient's anatomy. One half to one syringe is the average amount required.

I suggest that you seek a consultation with a Board
Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon to discuss under eye rejuvenation
options. Dermal filler in the tear
troughs is a specialized injection that should only be performed by an advanced
injector. Restylane can be a fantastic option for this area and the typical
patient uses 0.5 to 1.0cc syringe of filler.
Your physician may also discuss the use of filler in other complimenting
areas, such as the cheeks, to improve your overall facial balance. Best of luck
and make sure to do your research!

It would be hard to say how much Restylane is needed without seeing a photo of you.  That said, I usually recommend 1-2ccs of Restylane into the tear troughs for most patients.
