Filler Myth for Under Eye Hollows?

I perform this frequently. The results can be outstanding but it can take a little longer than nasolabials or lips to settle. It shouldn't create a pocket as these are dermal fillers (ie.... they are filling skin!) .... restylane is basically like injecting a liquid sponge that holds water for 9 months or so.

Thank you for the great question. Restylane is a great option for the under eye hollows, even in younger patients (late 20's to 30's). The filling effect generally lasts 6 to 9 months. Though injecting in this area does require good hands, there are no long-term effects like stretching or pocket-formation that I have seen in my practice. Best of luck!
