I had one syringe of Restylane Lyft in each cheek would you recommend more? My eyes still appear a bit hollow. (Photos)

Question

Would you recommend more Restylane Lyft after one syringe in each cheek? I’m looking to decrease the hollows under my eyes. It’s a big improvement after just this treatment.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Hi @kcarley36! Thank you for your sending your photos. You would be a great candidate for tear trough fillers. Restylane and Belotero work great.  I recommend seeking 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!

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

I encourage you to return to your injector two weeks after your treatment for an evaluation.  Often times patients see the best results by combining under eye filler with cheek filler.  This allows for a smoother contour from the under eye to the cheek. I've included a video I hope you find helpful.

Hello! Although your result looks great, I believe you could use a little more filler into your cheeks and possibly a little under your eyes to soften the hollowing. 1 syringe is 1/5th of a teaspoon, so often times touch ups may be necessary. Typically, I use restylane lyft in the cheeks and restylane-L under the eyes. Please see a highly qualified provider to discuss your treatment plan.

Judging by the picture you posted, and without
having the opportunity to examine you in person, I think that the filler placed in your cheeks had made a nice difference. My recommendation is to
consider having normal Restylane placed in your tear trough to correct the
hollowness of your lower eyelids. In my
office this is performed most successfully through a cannula, rather than a
needle, for safety as well as
control. With fillers,
please keep in mind that “less is more,” as it’s important to respect the
natural anatomy of the face so that you do not look distorted or unnatural, but
rather beautiful and refreshed.

Leonard Grossman, MD · Answer

Even though I've been using Restylane approaching for more than a quarter of a century, I still don't believe that hyaluronic acid should be placed into the lower eyelid as it will invariably result in some troublesome issues. My recommendation is that you visit a plastic surgeon near you who is well-versed with fat grafting techniques. Fat grafting will provide you with a natural and permanent results. Good luck from New York City

One syringe has produced an improvement but a second one would be useful. You do not have to do this immediately. It is totally a matter of personal preference.  If an entire syringe is not required, it can be stored and injected at a later date. Best wishes.
