I, and many others now only use Restylane to fill lower eyelid hollowness because of experience with too much swelling under the eyes caused with Juvederm; in one of my patients, and in many patients injected elsewhere.
The safety of the injection of Restylane in this area is related to the experience and skill of the injecting physician. It is a very delicate and unforgiving area so choose your injecting physician most carefully. Give yourself at least 4 to 5 days before any major event in case there is some bruising. Avoid aspirin and anti-inflammatory medications for 10 days before having your injections.
When performed properly, the results are excellent. It is effective for both patients who have in the past had lower lid blepharoplasty, as well as those who have not had any eye lid surgery.
Good luck and be well.
