Hi- I’m a late 30’s female that has some volume loss/hollows under her eyes. What is the best filler to use? I’ve had friends tell me that it is Restalyne whereas another mentioned Radiesse. I do understand the basic differences, but what will ultimiately yield the best results? I want it to look very natural. Thank you for your time, C
Answer:
Dear Cynthia,
Radiesse is great for chin and cheek augmentation but its simply too thick and firm for the lower lid tear troughs. Restylane and Juvederm Ultra are the best choices. Restylane has more firmness and “lift” but Juvderm is softer and more malleable. Either is fine. I prefer Juvederm Ultra for the tear trough of patients with VERY thin skin. Both products are Hyaluronic acid and can attract water and create a “baggy” puffy appearance but that is not a common scenario.
