While aging is inevitable, it is possible to reduce signs of aging in the face, particularly around the eyes. Over time, the orbital septum in the lower eyelid can weaken. This, together with a gradual loss of soft tissue volume in the midface, accentuates the appearance of the lower bony orbital margin between the eyelid and the cheek, leaving patients with a tired, aged appearance. For patients who experience dark circles and hollows around their lower eyelids, an eyelid rejuvenation procedure may be an effective treatment option. One popular treatment option is Tear Trough Restylane Injections, a non-surgical procedure that has been used for the last 6-7 years.
Let’s take a closer look at the most commonly asked questions about Tear Trough Restylane Injections.
Frequently Asked Questions about Tear Trough Restylane Injections
- What are Tear Trough Restalyne Injections? Restylane is an injectable, hyaluronic acid filler. It is designed to add fullness and volume to the soft tissues of the face, correcting common facial issues such as wrinkles, lines, hollows and folds. When Restylane is injected into the area under the lower eyelids (also known as the “tear troughs”), the appearance of dark circles and eyelid hollows can be significantly reduced.
- What makes patients choose Tear Trough Restylane Injections for their treatment? This treatment has a proven safety record, and is effective in improving the appearance of lower lid dark circles and hollows for suitable patients without the “downtime” associated with cosmetic eyelid surgery. Unlike a number of other dermal fillers, Restylane does not tend to cause persistent swelling in the lid area following treatment.
- How long will this procedure take, and what will the recovery time be? Patients often elect to have Tear Trough Restylane Injections since the procedure often takes just 20-30 minutes, with little to no discomfort and a low risk of side effects . The recovery time is minimal, although patients are advised not to engage in vigorous exercise for a few days afterwards. It is preferable to avoid make-up for at least two days following the treatment.
- Is this procedure right for me? A patient’s suitability should first be determined by a doctor with expertise in the procedure, and one who can assess a patients eyes and eyelids appropriately. Patients must, however, inform their doctor of any past non-surgical facial aesthetic treatments before the injections are scheduled. In some cases, a doctor may recommend a lower eyelid blepharoplasty for patients who are not suitable for Tear Trough Restylane Injections.
- How long do the results of this treatment last? Results typically last from approximately 9 to 12 months before repeat treatment is required. However, patients who have repeated injections tend to see progressively longer-lasting results, often with less product required at repeat injection sessions. Additional injections can be given within 1 to 2 weeks of the initial treatment if there is any noticeable asymmetry.
