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

I was thinking of getting a groupon for one syringe of restylane and 25 units of botox for upper eyelid lifts. I am only 18 and my under eye bags make me look old and tired all the time.

Answer: How many syringes of Restylane needed for under eyes?
Very smart question. Hyaluronidase starts to work immediately and continues to work for 48-72 hrs. At 72 hours the effect is usually maximal and only marginal changes should take place thereafter. Theoretically you could reinject filler at that time however I would suggest waiting 10 to 14 days...
Small amounts of Botox, Dysport or Xeomin (all very similar) injected strategically in the outer lower eyelid and above the brow can "open" the eye to give the look of a larger, brighter eye.
It is not abnormal to have swelling 48 hours after treatment. This will improve over time, and can last for up to 1-2 weeks. I would recommend following up with your provider regarding any concerns, as they know the extent of your treatment and will be able to provide you with advice. I hope...
