WORTH IT$850
Even as a child I had noticeable under-eye hollows and dark pigmentation. As I got older and lost weight recently, this only worsened. I finally decided to take the plunge and get tear trough fillers!
I'm only a few hours post procedure, so I'm unaware of the final outcome, but so far I am very pleased, the results appear great. I have some bruising at the injection site and will likely swell over the next couple of days, so I will update as needed.
About .7 of a syringe was split between my eyes, he used the remainer on my nose to fill in a curve. Although subtle, I love the change to my nose!

Uploaded side by side comparison photos of my under eyes and nose. It's the evening of injections now and they haven't swelled more.

Looks great so far! You will be happy with the final results. I just had juvaderm in my cheeks (1syringe) & restalyne (half syringe) in my lips yesterday. This is the 3rd time I've done my lips and 2nd for my cheeks. My results tend to last a long time. Hope yours do too!

They looks awesome! I've been debating having this done as well.
How much was it to have this done? Did he use just one syringe?

Thanks! I'm so happy I did it. It cost $850 plus a one time initial consulation a fee of $150, so $1,000. .7 of a syringe was used under my eyes then the remaining .3 on my nose. You can definitely get it done for less, I just live in an expensive city (SF) where everything costs more and realllly wanted to see this doctor.

I see you live in the Bay Area as well, I whole heartedly recommend Dr. Mabrie. I've also heard really good things about Dr. Maas for this procedure.

I've heard good things about Mabrie and Maas also. I live in Danville so I'm hesitant about making that drive. Ugh. I'd have to Bart it. I suck at driving in the city. But I've exhausted my resources looking out near me. No one really stands out as being excellent like they are. So frustrating. You look great! I may have to just bite the bullet and see one of them in SF. Grrrrrr.

Minimal Swelling day 2
afgfJanuary 16, 2016
I'm currently 36 hours post injection and have minimal swelling and bruising. It's not noticeable to coworkers, a little makeup would probably cover it up entirely. I decided to tell my boyfriend about having it done and he was unhappy and upset by it, I'm not sure why...oh well.
It is tender to the touch, that's why I haven't tried putting makeup over it.
Overall very pleased!

You look so pretty, thank you for sharing! Will update your photos when the bruising heals too? Love to see the results!
Were the injections uncomfortable? Did you use numbing cream?
I do plan to update photos as the bruising and swelling subsides. Hopefully my results aren't just from swelling!
He used a numbing injections prior to the restylane injection. I mainly felt pressure with only a few pricks. It wasn't the most comfortable experince, but it was tolerable.
I didn't have any numbing agent on my nose and it hurt quite a bit more but that's okay.
