Tear trough implants: pros and cons?

June 9, 2018
Asked By:hifi08 in Toronto, ON

I had a lower bleph 4 yrs ago & now have a hollowed out look (despite my occuloplastic surgeon's VERY conservative excision of fat). I had a bad exp w Restylane in my tear troughs (lumps/discolouration) so I'm looking for another option. I have seen a few posts for tear trough implants on realself but they are all from the same Dr in Texas so I'm not sure how widely available this procedure is or what the long term results are. Do the implants cause discomfort, swelling, teary eyes, etc?
