I've deep tear troughs for years. I did not know it was called that until I did some research on this site.I always hated the hollowness in my eyes an as I got older my cheeks seemed to deflat as well. But that has changed as of 4/26/17.Thanks to looking on realself and reading other ppls stories. I was able to find Dr. Kotlus. He's awesome!!

What procedure did you have done sis? How much was it? I have under eye bags and I hate them. It ages one.

I was so nervous to have this done.When your dealing with your face you should be very skeptical.. But Dr. Kotlus is awesome. He made me feel comfortable and showed corcern in my expectations.. He talked to me through the whole process. Very personable shared some of his stories as well ..he will really make you feel none to very little fear ..very trustworthy ..I had very deep tear troughs n sunken cheeks to boot.. He took extra care and asked me what my expetations were. His work was as handsome as he was..lol. He used two full vial of restylane on each eye that's how deep my troughs were... He used two more vials of restylane lift on my cheeks. One side of my face actually needed more than the other due to trama to my face years ago.. He numbed the area with ointment and a ice pack.. I did feel little pinches. Nothing I couldn't handle. The whole procedure took maybe a half hour.. I'm very happy so far with my results I can't wait to see the end results.. I had deep troughs my whole life.. They are absolutely faded for now.. Like I said can't wait!! Thank you Dr. Kotlus!!

I'm going for a consult next week. How long did he say filler would last for hollows. Did you bruise at all? Looks awesome.

Good luck. I'm sure you will be pleased he is awesome. He said it will last up to 1year. And I'm noticing now yes I have some minor bruising. But because of the hollowness being almost all one I don't mind. Lol

I ment almost all gone

For me the fillers in that area last for over 3 years. Unlike the lips or nasolabial areas, the tear troughs hardly move, which explains the longer effect. But everyone is different I guess. Anyway you look great!
