Best Decision Ever - Volume Restoration in Upper Orbital Area - No More "Skeleton Eyes"

WORTH IT
The upper periorbital region of my eyes had hollowed out with age to the point where I almost felt like a skeleton. My right eye was worse than my left. I tried masking this with makeup, but it became more difficult to hide. I did extensive research and decided I wanted to try filler administered by a Board-Certified Oculoplastic Surgeon, which is how I found Dr. Joseph. I went in for a consultation and ended up requesting a same-day procedure. Dr. Joseph was not pushy at all, he explained the risks which actually gave me more confidence to move forward. He used a cannula to fill my upper periorbital regions with Restylane, I believe he used about 0.5ml on my right eye and about half on my left. After the numbing injection I did not feel a thing. Even the numbing injection was not bad. The next day, I was somewhat swollen, but after the second day, the swelling had subsided, and the results set in. The filler restored volume I had lost which reversed the hollow/skeletal appearance of my eyes. The larger amount of filler used on my right eye corrected the asymmetrical hollowing. I had this procedure done about one month ago, I am very happy with my results, and thankful that Dr. Joseph did such an amazing job. I wake up looking more refreshed, I no longer need to spend time experimenting with brightening concealers that were never really effective. Even better, Dr. Joseph estimates the results will last a few years, when it starts to fade, I know where I will return!
If you have any questions about this procedure you can send me a private message. I will be happy to share my results with you.

So few people say they need this done. Most of the time, people have hooded eyelides. I have the same problem as you, and I actually wish my problem was hooding - it would be easier to deal with than hollowing!!! So frustrating to always have the problem that there is hardly any solution to. Please show pictures of what you had done. Would love to see since I am considering it! Thank you for sharing your story!

Still happy with results. I am adding a photo for those who asked. Top left is before, see the the hollowness and asymmetry. Top right was the next day (a bit swollen) but I did not mind. The bottom photo is now after more than 1 year.
