Would I benefit from under-eye fillers? (photos)

Question

I am in my early 20s. I do my best to take care of my skin and my health, but I can't seem to get rid of, or even minimize the appearance of my dark, hollow under-eyes. I've tried every eye-cream, I use sun protection, I rarely drink, I stay hydrated. I don't know what more I could do. I really feel like my hollow eyes make me look much older than I am. Would I benefit from under-eye filler? Or is there an alternate treatment method I don't know of? Any information/advice would be appreciated!

Filler is a great tool to help improve under eye contour irregularities.  The treatment is done in the office and the results last approximately one year.  See an experienced injector near you to learn more.  I've included a video I hope you find helpful.

Fillers like Belotero, Volbella, and Restylane Silk are good for improving under the eyes, but keep in mind that a combination approach will give the most improvement. My patients try to get non-surgical treatments to avoid surgery, so we use fillers, lasers, microneedling/PRP and stem cells. I suggest consulting with an expert to develop a treatment plan best suited for you. Best, Dr. Emer​​​​

Hello @Phenomenal272667 thank you for your question and showing your pictures. It's great that you take care of yourself, however there are several reason why from such a young age people have dark circles. The nasolacrimal furrows are a distinctive feature of the face, their appearance is related to different causes:Tiredness, stress, unhealthy lifestyle habits, excessive consumption of alcohol and tobacco, incorrect iron production, less oxygenation in the tissues, some allergies can congest the blood vessels, loss of fat around the eyes or genetic antecedents. In non surgical treatments a great option is to have a protocol with hyaluronic acid to minimize the appearance of dark circles under the eyes. I link a video to shed more light! Best wishes!

Hello and thank you for your question! Filler is a great way to replace Volume loss throughout the tear trough. The tear trough skin is very thin and delicate, therefore a thin molecule filler should be used in this area such as Juvederm Volbella. Another approach is Platelet-rich plasma. Injecting your platelets locally in this area can help to stimulate collagen and help to improve the quality of skin. I suggest making a consult with a provider near you to further evaluate in person...hope this helps!

Yes, try HA fillers like VolBella in your tear troughs. Best to seek only in person opinions from experienced injectors. Fees from $400-$1,000.
