WORTH IT$1,050
I cannot express how happy I am with this procedure. I am 30 female Caucasian with Lebanese heritage. I suffered since birth from deep hollow under eye bags. The year troughs were just getting deeper as I aged and I needed to so something about it. I got 2 vials of restylane injections in my tear troughs and wow....no makeup needed!!!! I look younger, awake, my skin looks smoother and I feel so much more confident looking people in the eyes!

Wow your results are subtle but amazing!  Has anyone asked you if you've recently gone on vacation or anything like that, trying to figure out why you look refreshed?

How long does it last? Or how often do you have to get the injections?

My Dr. said i should be good for 1-2 years but he said everyone is different. I expect to review how my face looks in 1 year and then see if i want to go back to get touched up. 1 year is great in my opinion because its a year free of feeling self conscious!

Was there any bruising under the eye after the injections?

YES you WILL PUFF UP!!! I made the mistake of trying to go to work right after DO NOT do that - you will need to be out of the public eye for about 3-4 full days. I used ice on the area to reduce swelling. There was no pain at all, just redness & puffiness. I will try to add pics!

It will look like you got punched in the eyes :) I made the mistake of trying to go to work right after DO NOT do that - you will need to be out of the public eye for about 3-4 full days. I used ice on the area to reduce swelling. There was no pain at all, just redness & puffiness. I will try to add pics! MAKE SURE YOU SLEEP UPRIGHT for 3-4 nights after to let the blood drain from the swollen areas!

Hi all! Thanks for all the great questions! I figured it's best to show pics to explain what the recovery was. AGAIN I SWEAR I HAD NO PAIN during the recovery time (I worked from home for 3 days and started wearing makeup 1 week after my injections - fully recovered in 3 weeks meaning swelling was COMPLETELY gone by then) - let me know if you have any questions!

everyone's filler cost will be different depending on how much filler you need. I needed 2 vials, and that was $1,050. Results last 1-2 years, again depending on the person and how your filler settles. I expect to go each year to get filled.

Under eyes still look smooth and I'm still happy with the procedure! When I touch under my eyes I can feel the filler a little bit but it's like a gel, not rock hard. When this dissolves I will be going back to Dr. Kapadia to get it re-done!!!

I had Voluma in Oct. with Dr. Kapadia in my cheeks, supposed to last 2 years but i'm not sure if it will, restalyn in my lips never lasts past 9 months. I think my metabolism eats it up or something. I'm hoping the more dense Voluma stays longer. Can't use on lips or under eyes though, it's too thick.
