Cheek Lift Without Surgery and Hollow Under Eyes Treatment Frequently Asked Questions:

What is the cost of a cheek lift without surgery?

The cost of a cheek lift without surgery varies depending on the type of treatment chosen, what size syringes and how many are needed. Radiesse (Dr. Umar’s preferred method) starts at about $600 and increases with the size of syringe and amount needed.

What does the average under eye hollows filler cost?

The cost for hollow under eyes treatment varies on what size syringes are used and how many are needed for the treatment. Typically between one and three syringes are needed to achieve optimal results. Dr. U can determine the cost of the treatment based on your needs during a consultation.

What is the best filler for tear trough treatment between Radiesse and Juvederm? And why is one better than the other?

Radiesse is the best filler for tear trough and under eye treatment. Juvederm products have a smooth consistency gel and are best used to fill in the deep creases in the skin, particularly the parenthesis around the mouth.  Other dermal fillers have a tendency to create a bluish color which can potentially accentuate the appearance of dark under eye circles. Radiesse is an opaque, white dermal filler composed of calcium hydroxyapatite particles suspended in a gel medium.

]]> The eyes are a focal point of the face and can be a beautiful feature that people want to show off. However, dark circles and eye bags can make people self-conscious. These issues can form due to the natural aging process, but they are generally caused by genetics. This patient of Dr. Umar was unhappy about her under eye shadows and her sunken lower eyelids. She wanted a long-term solution that didn’t involve surgery. Dr. Umar used the dermal filler Radiesse to neutralize the bags and to minimize the dark circles.

Under Eye Shadows and Sunken Lower Eyelids Before Photos:

The patient was unhappy with her dark circles and eye bags so she sought out the help of Dr. U for a non-surgical treatment for her under-eye area. The patient said she tried almost every under-eye cream on the market and nothing worked. She said “I wouldn’t leave the house without concealer on,” because she didn’t like the area under her eyes.

Under eye shadows can be caused by unhealthy lifestyle choices, as well as genetics. Those with dark circles due to lack of sleep, dehydration, smoking, and other external factors can reduce their appearance by making lifestyle changes. However, for individuals with hereditary dark circles, this is not a solution.

Eye Bag Reduction Procedure Photos:

Dr. U used the dermal filler Radiesse to reduce the patient’s dark circles and eye bags. Dr. U chose to use Radiesse for the under-eye area because it won’t produce the Tyndall effect. The Tyndall effect is when light rays pass through, they bend and create a bluish color which is not ideal for the undereye area where the skin is very thin. Radiesse is made of tiny calcium-based particles and can be molded once injected, which helps decrease the puffiness associated with eye bags.

The calcium particles within Radiesse provide volume and support in the injected area, allowing under eye bags to be lifted toward the tear trough and reshaped to be in line with the face. This creates the appearance of an eye bag reduction.

Frequently Asked Questions – Dark Circles and Eye Bags

Are dermal filler injections the best way to treat dark circles and eye bags?

Injections are more effective than creams, cosmetic products, and metal roller balls. The results from an injection will look very natural and the procedure is easy. The results of injections may be more permanent (up to about 18 months) and long-lasting. The decision really depends on the patient’s goals.

Can eye bag reduction be achieved through cold eye masks and healthier lifestyle choices?

Eye masks and cold compresses can offer temporary improvement but it will not be permanent. Eye bags and dark circles may be a result of aging and the deterioration of soft tissue in the tear troughs. They may also be genetic or due to high salt intake and dehydration. Cutting down on salt and drinking more water would probably be better than many products on the market. If under-eye issues persist, you may want to see a dermatologist to discuss other solutions, such as non-surgical Radiesse treatments.

Can hyaluronic acid fillers like Juvederm or Restylane help with improving the appearance of the tear troughs?

Juvederm and Restylane are clear gel-like suspensions, this makes them more subject to the Tyndall Effect. The Tyndall effect is when light rays pass through, they bend and create a bluish color which is not ideal for the under-eye area where the skin is very thin. Radiesse is a better option for the under-eye area as the Tyndall Effect is not a concern.

 

Dark circles and eye bags are easily treated with fillers like Radiesse and other non-invasive, non-surgical means. For more information, you can ask any questions you may have through our Ask Dr. U form by clicking the button below:
