How many units of Restylane would I need to correct my under eye bags? (Photo)

Question

I've had dark circles under my eyes my whole life, even as a child. I have very full, round, high cheeks so I don't think I need to fill out my cheeks as well. How many units would I need to correct my dark bags for both eyes? How much should I expect to pay? How long would it last? What if the results are lumpy or "blue"? How long will I be bruised? I would like to get this procedure done after the holidays in Toronto. Thank you in advance.

Under eye fillers can make one look less tired and more youthful. Mid face volume correction can surely help minimize under eye hollows as well. Using a cannula to place under eye fillers will lower the risk of complications, such as bruising or Tyndall effect. It's unusual for someone to use more than 1 mL of Restylane filler at any given time for under eyes. Seek an expert physician injector for this procedure. Best wishes, Dr. S

It usually takes 1 syringe of Restylane or Restylane Silk to improve the hollow under the eyes. Combination treatments actually work the best. If the injection leads to blue hue or lumps, an enzyme can be injected to get rid of the injected material. Best wishes, Dr. ALDO

Thank you for sharing your question and photo. One syringe should be enough to correct your problem. It usually lasts about 6 months. Bad results can be fixed by dissolving the product with Vitrase. An expert can avoid getting significant bruising and problems. Cost depends on expertise of the injector. It's worth having an experienced Oculoplastic Surgeon perform your treatment in order to avoid complications.Good luck,

For best results under the eyes, I recommend a combination approach. Fillers, lasers, and microneedling/PRP can improve under eye bags. My patients try to get non surgical treatments to avoid surgery. We use PRP and stem cells there often. Cost will vary. See an expert for a formal evaluation. Best, Dr. Emer.

fillers won't make dark circles better. fillers fill hollows and if there are hollows they can be leveled. pigmented skin won't change
