Question:
I’ve been interested in eyelid surgery on my lower eyelids but I’ve heard that Restylane can be used to achieve the same results. Is this true?
Answer:
The lower eye lids can be rejuvenated by a combination of procedures for optimal results. Tiredness can be due to puffiness from fat excess under the lower lids or as a result of loss of volume under the eyes, creating a hollow appearance. Fillers, such as Restylane can fill in the hollow areas under the eye lids creating a more rested appearance. Many patients require a combined approach where some excess volume (fat) is surgically removed and volume loss is replaced with fillers, such as Restylane, or fat injections. By creating a balanced approach to lower eye lid rejuvenation, natural results can be accomplished.
