Is One Syringe of Restylane Enough to Fill Both of my Under Eye Bags?

Restylane can be used successfully to help with the appearance under the eyes, but everyone is different, so some people need more and some need less.  I would say that in general, I would think that one syringe (1cc) would be enough for under the eyes in most people.  

A photo or an evaluation would be best to determine how many syringes on Restylane you would benefit from. Most patients see a significant difference BUT if you have deep under eye bags, you may need 2 syringes to see full correction. Tear troughs is a very sensitive area to treat, seek a reputable injector to provide a smooth end result you wish to achieve.

The answer to your question, as with many questions in plastic surgery, is "it depends." For most of my patients, 1 - 2 syringes of Restylane are sufficient to fill the under-eye hollows ("tear troughs").  For younger patients, this is especially true.  Combining the filler with a small amount of Botox for the area between the brows and to give a little upper eyelid lift makes for a very nice treatment with little to no downtime.

Dear HappycookieE,


One syringe may or may not be enough, and I frequently inject between 1-2 syringes

I would really avoid going to a doctor or nurse injector who does not have a lot of experience injecting under the eyes

The under eye area is the most complicated area to inject with no room for error

If it is not done right, you can have lumps, a blue tint to the skin, and otherwise unsatisfactory results

This is one area where you should not skimp on the injection, the eyes are the first place people look when they see your face, make sure it is done correctly

I would recommend

a. a thorough consult to assess that filler and Botox is in fact what you need

b. if that is what is decided, to stay conservative and returning for more if you still desire additional filler rather than risking over filling and being unhappy.

The under eye area is a very sensitive area and product takes longer to dissolve with Hyaluronidase if you are unhappy. Definitely go to a provider with great experience with tear trough filling.
