What you need to know
Under Eye Filler important facts and information
Where does the doctor apply the filler?
Lines 1 (orange) and 2 (purple) will be filled. Some patients just have 1, but if the groove extends all the way to the side, then I like to fill the whole region. Line 0 cannot be filled.
As we age, we lose fat under the eyes, and the tissues get loose. The area that was smooth previously, begins to develop lines and shadows. It is interesting that the tissues do not sag much, but only appear to sag because there is loss of volume and everything under the skin starts to be visible. Fillers fill that area to smooth out the contour.
People have different anatomy under the eyes.
Some have more bulging fat (especially in the mornings after drinking), some have depressions of varying degrees, and some a combination of both. All these changes can be improved with fillers.
My goal when I treat this area is to smooth it out as much as possible so that if someone looks at you, the focus is on the eyes and not on the under eye area.
Immediately: you might notice some swelling and bruising. Usually it is minimal, however I tell everyone not to have important events scheduled for about 2 weeks, just in case there is a longer lasting bruise.
Next day: usually there is some bruising which can be covered up with makeup, and some swelling can be present. The swelling is due to filler absorbing water. It will improve in a few days. However, it can last as long as 2 weeks while the filler is settling in.
Two weeks: at this time the bruising and the swelling is gone. If there is residual swelling in one area or another, it can be given a little more time to settle in, or that area can be corrected with dissolving of filler. Also, if there is an area that appears under filled, more filler can be placed. I save the remaining filler in your syringe for two weeks, just in case a correction needs to be made.
Filler in this area is also long lasting: up to 1 year.
Yes, eye fillers are safe as long as they are done in the hands of an experienced professional such as Dr. Kalsow. It’s important that your provider is qualified and experienced in injecting the area. This means that your injector understands the anatomy well, risks of the procedure and has been appropriately trained in how to give a natural result. You should see a dermatologist or plastic surgeon with experience in cosmetics for this procedure.We will be happy to go over what works best for you during your complimentary consultation visit.
