Last year I had tear trough filler, It helped the dark circles, however it felt bulky under my eyes and when smiling the filler caused my under eye smile lines to look worse, they looked like indents and the filler buldged around them, I did since discover Restalyne Lyft is not a first choice filler for tear trough. The filler has now worn off but I'd like it done again for the dark circles. Will it always make my smile lines appear worse or will a smoother filler produce a better result? Thanks

Answer: Under Eye Filler Under Eye filler is not always the correct answer for everyone. Darkness, if created by pigmentation, should be treated topically first. Additional treatment with filler should be done only in small increments, 0.5 mls of filler TOTAL (split between the two under eye areas) could be enough for you. If more is used, then you could get the bulky look and with expression you could see a ridge or indentation between the filled and unfilled areas. I would suggest using a topical product that contains Hydroquinone to decrease under eye "dark circles" if they are related to pigment change. And when getting filler, only a small volume should be added and gently massaged into the area to create a more uniform augmentation without the bulk. I like RHA products under the eye, as they tend to be more forgiving and less bulky. Restalyne makes several Hyaluronic Acid fillers and some are thinner than others. When returning for filler, tell your provider about your past experience and that should help you find the correct hyaluronic acid filler for you.

Answer: Filler for Tear Trough Hi there, There are a few fillers that can work in the trough. Classic Restylane is best and the Restylane Refyne is nice as well! Belotero can be used too but like Restylane products best! Best of luck!
