Filler Myth for Under Eye Hollows?

Mikaishere
I'm a 27 year old woman and I'm considering getting Restylane for my under eye hollows. I can see the veins and the blue skin underneath. A friend of mine warned me that it's too early for me to start now and that each time I get Restylane, that the injections will create a "pocket" of sorts which will make the hollowing even worse over time as injections cause tissue to expand (??) Is this really true? I've never heard of filler doing this. And if true, can you recommend an alternative? Thanks!
