Get An Instantly Fresh Look: Under Eye Filler for Sunken Eyes

may provide an effective and safe treatment option for under eye bags and dark circles, however it’s essential that a health professional (ideally one who specializes in cosmetic fellowship-trained dermatology or is board-certified oculoplastic ophthalmology) conducts the procedure safely and professionally, says our dermatologist in Mumbai.

Our dermatologist also says that the entire procedure is fast and relatively pain-free. After applying a topical anesthetic to numb the area, injections will be administered quickly.

What Is It?

Under eye filler for sunken eyes is a cosmetic treatment used to combat dark circles and deep tear troughs under the eyes. Hyaluronic acid filler injections into tear trough areas help improve the appearance of bags or hollowness under-eye bags and hollowness, giving an overall more pleasing aesthetic appearance.

Hyaluronic acid, found naturally within our bodies, absorbs water to plump up skin by drawing moisture in. This gives a more youthful and smooth appearance and makes skin appear younger overall. Unlike some filler materials, however, hyaluronic acid does not remain permanently and can be removed using injectable enzyme hyaluronidase should you not like its results.

However, it is essential that patients visit a provider with experience performing this procedure (ideally a fellowship-trained dermatologist or an oculoplastic board-certified ophthalmologist). An experienced physician will understand the anatomy of your eyes and will be able to avoid complications like injecting directly into blood vessels which could result in blindness (vascular occlusion).

What Can It Treat?

Under eye filler is an effective solution for both shallow and deep indentions under the eyes, as well as to reduce puffy or dark circles under them.

Due to the delicate skin under your eyes, selecting a filler that has a soft and gel-like consistency is of utmost importance in creating an even surface for treatment. Retylane or Belotero fillers with less viscous formulations would be best suited for this treatment option.

What Are the Side Effects?

Before beginning any injections, it’s essential that you consult with a dermatologist or cosmetic surgeon first, but the eye area requires special consideration. Blood vessels may become blocked and could result in blindness – that’s why finding a provider with experience performing the procedure is key.

As your skin beneath your eyes is so delicate, getting under eye dermal filler should not be too painful. Your doctor will apply topical numbing cream first before using a needle or blunt-edged cannula to puncture it through.

What to Expect

Based on the type of filler chosen, your procedure could take less than 20 minutes. Your physician will provide tailored pre-procedure instructions specific to your skin; in general these will include refraining from drinking alcohol and certain medications like ibuprofen, aspirin, fish oil capsules with vitamin E and other blood thinners for at least 24 hours prior to treatment in order to minimize bleeding or bruising.

Conclusion

Hyaluronic acid fillers remain the go-to choice, yet other treatments such as calcium hydroxylapatite (known as Radiesse) can also be effective. When seeking treatments under the eye area it’s wise to consult an experienced medical provider such as a cosmetic fellowship-trained dermatologist or board-certified plastic surgeon rather than visiting a medspa; delicate skin under eyes requires special expertise to minimize risk of complications and ensure maximum benefit from any procedure performed, says our dermatologist in Mumbai.
