Going today for Belotero filler to help with my eye hollows. I've always had darkness under my eyes. Now at 48, I've found that even the best concealers don't hide the hollows. My doc is going to fill in the area around the fat pads. He will only use Belotero for under eye troughs (or surgery!). I'm not ready for surgery yet so hope this does the trick.

Thanks so much! So it's been 9 months and still have some but could use a refresh for sure. This timeframe is what i was told to expect. That being said, not sure I want to go through the bruising again and the full month to be totally back to normal. Within two weeks I was presentable but for the price, I might wait a while and at a later point go for a permanent solution. The injectables can get pricey if you keep them up and within 2-3 years you've spent more than you would for a permanent fix (ie, surgery). That being said, I have no regrets and this was a really good way to assess how my eyes could look!

Just posted a photo --- in March it will be one year. I think there might still be some filler in there but hollows definitely coming back. I'll try to do one with makeup (as that makes such a huge difference :) )

final results are great! I've got an apt booked but not looking forward to going to work with bruises and having to explain that! :)

Thank you for your review! I tried today and couldn't handle the pain under the eyes, so I stopped before finishing! Was as painful and stinging for you as well when your doctor was injecting it? thanks! Joslyn

Sorry, just saw this. Your doc should have used numbing cream before injecting. They apply and then you wait about 20 minutes. I didn't feel a thing. Shocked he/she didn't numb you up.

I'd say about 11 months, maybe less. Everyone metabolizes differently. Fades so gradually that it's tough to say exactly but you should be able to get a 8-12 months out of it.

I had bruising and swelling. No surprises as I bruise very easily.

WOW! Looks GREAT!!! You have bruising but no lumps. One of my eyes is very lumpy. =( As for concealer, I LOVE Benefit's "Stay Don't Stray" concealer primer (light/medium) followed by The Balm's "Time Balm" concealer in lighter than light. And pat, pat, pat....do no rub it in! =) Hope that helps. Can't wait to see your final results!
