Restylane and Juvederm not working for tear trough?

April 13, 2016
Asked By:syrialem in Utah, UT

A month ago, I had a syringe of Restylane injected in my tear trough. Prior to that, in October of 2015 I'd had a syringe of Juvederm injected in the same area. I have hypothyroidism and the lines that run under my eyes are EXTREMELY deep due to my condition. Unfortunately, for both times, the filler didn't do much. Although the lines subsided a small amount, I still always looked exhausted. Did I not receive enough filler both times? Or what other approach can I take to get rid of these lines?
