Tear troughs and under eye puffiness are my problems since I was a teen ager. My face look old and tired. I hope I can find a reliable doctor like you in my country so I can give justice on my face. Thank you for this video.
Thanks for your comment. Thing with under eye filler is that you can still get puffiness that happens years later, even if it looks perfect for years and you had no issues. It’s just an area we have to take a little more risk with. I still feel that it was worth if for me though because my troughs caused shadows and was moderately deep.
I tried this twice and it only lasted about 18 months. It wasn't worth it because I had terrible swelling afterward and to this day I get pillows under my eyes when allergy season hits. It looks so bad and it seems like there is some leftover product that migrated below the tear trough. I still have dark hollows under my eyes. The swelling caused wrinkles and understand its a maintenance thing. How much filler are you going to keep piling up under your eye? Its not going to continue to get good results and there are a lot of risks. Think twice before messing with what your face looks like.
They could have placed the wrong type of product in your tear troughs. My doctor only uses Belotero in that area because it’s a thin filler that doesn’t swell. I’ve had it done with excellent results.
@@NaturalInjector Glassmansgirl is my IG... do you know anyone up in my area that you could suggest? I’m fairly new to the PNW and finding someone you trust is scary. Or you could just move up here! Hahaha jk
This video is *chef's Kiss* to this issue. I remember as a young girl getting plenty of sleep and people thinking I was sleep deprived. No amount of color corrector/concealer combo can help me so I am ready to see a doctor about this. I hate being perfectly healthy and well rested to still have these dark tear troughs.
Great video!!! I had my eye bags removed but it didnt resolve my problem completely until i researched and realised i had tear trough deficiency as well. Had filler done and i am super super happy now. No more eye bags no more dark circles no more looking tired no more being conscious when i smile laugh or take photos. Thank God for science.
@@NaturalInjector mainly TH-cam. Can you believe my surgeon does not even know?! He just couldn't figure out why the lower blep could not achieve my desired result!!! Fainting! I had to solve the problem myself after paying $8000!!! LOL.
To avoid filler migration and eye bags after filler is it correct to only inject the filler beneath the tear through? Would love to come to you but I am from Germany and just want to make sure I find the right injector with the correct technique.
Had my sculptra maintenance appointment yesterday afternoon. My doctor did tear trough filler for me, too. I'm a bit nervous as I'm very swollen puffy right now under my eyes. He told me it takes 2 weeks to settle. I'm hoping it doesn't take 2 weeks for swelling to come down even just a bit? Keep hearing horror stories! It said I could lightly gently massage outward. I'm not sure! Afraid of migration? Of course, I'm massaging my sculptra areas.
@Natural Injector - Emily Dowe, PA-C Thanks for asking! The sculptra looks good so far. Tomorrow is week 2 for both treatments. Sculptra and tear trough filler. The tear trough filler definitely looks better than it did, but it's still a bit of a puff under my right eye. Looks like I have a small bag under that eye. Looks like it's getting better every day, so I'm hoping it continues to improve. I mentioned it to my Dr. He told me to lightly massage it and that I could lightly press into any small bump. He will be doing my dysport in a few weeks, so he will see what's going on. Hoping it's all good by then. 😊
@NaturalInjector Thank you for caring! Your good person. 😊 I spoke to one of his nurses and sent a photo of what it looks like after 3 weeks. He said he may need to dissolve a little bit of it on my right side. I have a follow-up appointment this Wednesday. 😔 My Sculptra is shaping up nicely, though! 👌
I plan to make an appt with you☺️ I have hereditary tear troughs with semi dark circles. I do not have eye bags. The troughs aren't terrible and can be covered with makeup. I have clear decent skin so I don't wear a lot of make up like I used to, but the troughs bother me at times, especially if I wear a cute hat. Q. when filler dissolves over time will the patient end up with loose skin (that appears like eye bags) if they never refill the tear troughs or anywhere else on the body?? Q. I'm AAmerican and scientifically deep melanated skin does hold its youth much longer, but its not "iron clad" magic skin. In fact, it can be quite persnickety if mistreated or if the wrong products/procedures are used. Are fillers in the eye area ok for AA skin? Is sculpture okay for AA skin?? I don't want eye bags in exchange for tear troughs when concealer will do the job. Lol
Would be happy to see you. No when filler goes away it will not leave loose skin and no it should not create eye bags. Eye bags are hereditary. Filler will not correct the eye bags and eye bags continue to herniate more with time. Yes in general African skin does not show signs of aging as fast as other ancestries (I’ll be discussing this in my next video). Yes it’s ok to do fillers to the tear troughs in ppl of African ancestry. Yes Sculptra is ok too but not in the under eye area.
I have watched lots of videos and this explains it well. Why don't dermatologists ever say some people can go blind from this? I am glad that is rare but still. I have mild throughs and if you are watching this maybe filer is the thing for you I am working on face yoga first, koko face yoga from Japan, talks and shows how to work on this issue, France is getting into it too. Both ways I'm sure. My family member had their lips filled with restiline and it looked awful because European type perpotions are not Angela jolie.
I don’t explain all of the possible complications and side effects from filler in my videos because there are so many other things to cover. If you go in for an actual treatment, most providers will let, or should let you know all of the possible risks associated with filler. Blindness is rare and it’s a bit more common to go blind from getting filler to the nose or glabella area rather than from the tear troughs.
What are the risk? Just look at Gavin Chan’s he discovered that tear through filler can last for 12 years and it moved under the eyeball. I really wanted to get tear through filler I already had some but wanted more and now I’m just scared.
I love his channel. If you had tear trough filler with no issues then I would make certain that when you go in for another treatment that you really need it and that there is actual volume loss, or tear trough present. A lot of times patients get used to their tear trough filler and they think they need more and they still have correction. Even after I tell people that they still have correction from their tear trough filler people don’t seem to comprehend. What they seem bothered by is their lower eyelid/cheek junction and even after I explain that it will not take away their lower/eyelid cheek junction they still desire more. Tear trough filler can last for years so I would just make sure that their is a trough to correct should you desire more.
I have pics of myself as a damned toddler with these! 😢 Going to get filler... I'm ironically tired of people always asking me if im tired! Mine are just like Kristen Stewart's!
@@BohemianButterfly11 Thanks for sharing. I had mine since childhood as well. Feel free to keep us posted on your results if you decide to get it done.
Hi! What do you think about Juvelook (combines HA for fast effect and poly-D,L-lactic acid for long term collagen stimulation). It’s huge now in Korea and Europe
I’m glad you made this comparison video! I have just tear troughs, but I felt I wasn’t a candidate because I mostly see people with tear troughs/eye bags getting this done. I truly believed this was only for people with eye bags.
So glad you found the video helpful! There are a lot of people who have the concavity right underneath their eye bags that get this treatment done but you can get this treatment done if you have the concavity, or tear trough without eye bags.
The video was super informative. I'd like to ask about my case tho. I have slight tear through but it doesn't really bother me, it does when I smile, the skin right under the eyes gets super wrinkly with several lines going towards the cheeks and then creating the hollow space right under it. I think it must be genetics because I always had some bent lines coming from the eyes but they became much more prominent when I lost weight and so face fat. I'm 32 and considering doing this treatment but I don't know if that would be right for my case. I'm not sure fillers would actually help in not forming the lines under the eyes when I smile or else will make them more prominent as it'd be more "full" and then it'd make it stick out.
Thanks for watching glad you found the video informative. I really cannot advise much as I would have to see your face but it a lot of people think that tear trough filler will help the lines right underneath their eyes but tear trough filler is not meant for this. It’s meant for people who have a concavity in the area shown in the video. Feel free to book a virtual consult on my website as I can’t really advise much without seeing the area your concerned with.
Thank you! Which restalyne product do you like best there? I have both bags and hollowness and one side is worse than the other. Do you usually start with one half of a syringe per side or one full syringe per side? I want to get this treatment done! Can the same product used under the eyes be used to fill a little on the cheek and marionette lines too?
@@duchessdelarue5983 I like regular Restylane for the under eyes. I usually start with 1 syringe for both under-eyes, with around 1/2mL to each under-eye. Sometimes if someone is more hollow I will put a little more of the 1mL syringe to that under-eye. I never do more than 1 syringe to the tear troughs in one visit. I will have the patient return in 2 or 3 weeks and if we need to add a touch more (usually 0.2mL-0.3mL) then we can. I usually start on the side that has more hollowing to ensure we get as much correction as we need and not run out of product.
@@duchessdelarue5983 Yes the same product can be used to fill the cheek also, and if I have product left over I am happy to add a little to the cheek area and have done so for patients if they need it. I sometimes add some to that lid-cheek junction area that I spoke about in the video. As far as adding Restylane to the marionette area, it’s not my favorite product. It’s very stiff and I prefer to use other products to that area like Restylane Refyne, Defyne, Restylane Kysse, Versa, Volbella, or Vollure. However, if someone needs just a touch to their marionette lines and we have a little Restylane left over then I can use it. For a full correction to the marionette lines or perioral area, Restylane is not my favorite.
Thank you for this great video. I will get this done in a few days and under no circumstances will I let them fill my cheeks. I see it all the time with some injectors, they try to cash in on your visit because tear trough only needs 0.5-1ml total and so they convince you the trough needs 'support' from below (??) so they add 2ml per side (!). That makes zero sense. First of all, your contents of undereye tissue aren't hanging like clothes hung out to dry. And second, if they aren't overfilling the trough then why the need for support? And doesn't that cheek then need a support of its own, in the buccal area? Hah. Crazy. I wish I lived close I'd definitely come and have it done by you.
At one of the conferences I attended this facial plastic surgeon who also does a lot of anatomy courses stated that each tear trough should not get more then 0.5mL on each side. So 1mL total (0.5mL on each side, right and left) because the anatomical space cannot support any more than that. Sometimes people’s cheeks do need to get treated also to give the tissue to the mid face support. Actually when I was filming this video, I found a model who had deep tear troughs and treated her but the before and after was not the best because she also really needed her mid face area done as well. So I used these 2 other models in this video instead because they only really needed their troughs done and were a better example of tear trough injections alone. The key is to find an injector that you can trust who you won’t advise a treatment that you don’t need. Also make sure they look natural. I just attended a cosmetic conference this weekend in LA and as usual, there were so many over filled faces to the area of the tear troughs and cheeks, kinda cat like 🐱.
@@NaturalInjector Wow thank you for a reply, I didn't expect to get your attention! Yes, trust is important but the more you know (as a patient) the more you try to vet the doctors beforehand regardless of their reputation and photos. Some use needle to the bone approach directly in the trough, some use very superficial approach with the least dense filler, and some like You know what they're doing and why. So without knowing which technique my dr would use I can't trust him. And as a patient I shouldn't have to know so much about the procedure... it's a complicated situation when it comes to fillers :(
Glad you enjoy the videos! No I have NEVER filled my lips with filler I only do a lip flip with Botox and this does not add volume to them but works on the muscle to evert the cupids bow. I do wear a lip tint though and it can make my lips “pop” sometimes. Depending on what device the videos are watched on, they can look darker and possibly overpower my look because of the color being darker, depending on which device someone is watching the videos on. I have noticed this when I watch my videos on a TV screen. I’m not the best with makeup lol. Lip tint is something I always wear but I don’t like to wear other makeup.
I have this and I am 23 😢 My fear is that the filler will MIGRATE and then you will have somehow like a small filler ball , falling down the face as it seems it happened to Keily Jenner. Also people say it affects the linfatic system of your face as the eyes are a crucial area of linfatic drenage.
I have had tear troughs since childhood. You can always dissolve it, that’s the good thing about filler. I share my story of what happened to my tear troughs in this video 👉 th-cam.com/video/g54Oxmn99X0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=AsvGjow0zIPuMITL
I prefer filler to this area because the results are so long lasting. I tried PRF to my under eyes and I didn’t see much difference but I also have results from the last time I did filler to my under eyes which was from back in 2015!
@@j.b.duarte3820 I’m not sure as I only do filler. I would think not though because with PRF I believe you need to do a few treatments. Filler under the eyes is very long lasting.
I started hating my face because of my tear trough and m only 24 but i feel like they are getting worst especially that i work night shifts nd i study by day , and m hestitating over having filler or not, your video defently made me understand better nd feel better so i can't thank you enough 💜 🥺 however filler is still rarly used where i come from nd overly priced so i really don't know what's the answer for my eye drops ..
@@insafmakri2214 Nice, Algeria, I know where that is. I was actually contemplating some ancestry/geographical differences that I notice with ppl of North African, Middle-Eastern, and Mediterranean ancestry seem to have more hollowness under their eyes. This is what I’ve noticed in my experience in just observing faces.
This is such good informative video. I wish I was close to LA to have the procedure done by you. I'm going to start looking for an injector. What do I need to look for? Is a plastic surgeon office better or a dermatologist office? Or are there independent NP injectors? Please tell me what you recommend. Thank you!
I should probably come out with a video to explain how to find a good injector. I would check out their before and afters and make sure they have done a lot of tear troughs. The title doesn’t matter so much as their experience and approach with injections.
No not under the eyes. Not many people do. I would suggest finding someone who is very experienced in this area and getting NO MORE than 1 syringe done to both eyes as the anatomy in this area cannot support a lot of filler.
@@NaturalInjector I heard about PRF treatment for under the eyes. Do you do that? Lucky me I live here. I am hoping to see you soon. I want to come for sculptura & PRF treatment
@@ethiofoodchannel9219 You live in LA? I currently don’t do PRF because I’ve heard that the results don’t last that long, I will still consider doing it in the future but right now I’m not performing it. I’m having a Sculptra event in September and there will be promotions at the event! Let me know if you’re interested and I can add you to my email list to let you know about the event. I’ll also be posting about the event on the community page
With age, I think these undereye areas sometimes sink in somewhat! My ancestors really aged well but I look like my paternal grandfather and have sunken circles under my eyes! Except for this and somewhat deeper nasolabial fold lines, I really have no wrinkles whatsoever and am almost 68! I was thinking about getting them filled in with Restylane or Sculptra, but recently am hearing some horror stories of patients going blind in one eye or the other due to injections!
Halillujah halillujah OMG literally you make me feel confident by doing this video what filler do you have using patiently waiting for your response thank you so much
Filling tear troughs is very risky . It may look good right after the procedure , but long-term results are terrible - puffiness , and transformation the rest of the fillers to connective tissue.
I lost a lot of volume in my underlids because of minoxidil treatment (yes, its a thing). What did you use for your tear troughs? Because I am amazed that it can last several years. I would love to do the same.
I have tear throughs and want to do my lips. I want everything to look as natural as possible afterwards. Would you suggest to use 1 syringe for all areas? So for each tear through 0.25ml and the other 0.5ml for the lips? And then maybe enhance the results a few months later with another syringe splitted?
Basically, your lid/cheek junction is natural. Most people’s skin to their lower eyelid will be thinner than their upper cheek skin (People of East-Asian ancestry usually have thicker skin to their lower eyelid because of more fat so this junction is not as apparent on them.). I only treat someone has a concavity to their tear trough. I have patients sometimes ask me to do filler to this area because they want their lower eyelid area to be 100% perfect looking and I tell them that tear trough filler is not for that. That’s just my opinion.
I recommend filler but I also have only tried platelet rich fibrin under my eyes one time. I don’t think it lasted that long. I think filler lasts longer but again, I don’t have a lot of experience with PRF. Some people do both.
@@ezgibayram4841 I have not heard of and injectable and topical treatment to remove eye bags. Injectables don’t remove eye bags only surgery would. There are topicals and I believe one is called plexiderm that helps to decrease eyebags but this only works temporarily.
Funny you say that. I’ve head people say they have had issues with nodules and Allergan’s vycross technology. Thing is they are getting FDA approval for using Volbella to the undereyes and that’s vycross technology just like Vollure. I just treated my first patient with Volbella to her under eyes this week.
At 29 in certain lights I notice this! I absolutely hate it . I have no other ageing signs other than this and my acne scarring. Would like an option that’s more permanent
Tear trough filler is very long lasting. I have done my under eyes 2 times in my life and the last time I did it was in 2015 so it’s been 7 years and from what it looks like now, it looks like it should last another several years. Lots of things don’t last forever, even facelifts have an expiration date so that shouldn’t let it deter you if you think you’re a good candidate.
@@NaturalInjector true! My lip filler has lasted over 3 years and I love the result so hopefully it works in another area. I’m also considering Sculptra because of your other video I watched! 😊
@@AmandaRestivo if so it’s on a very very superficial level. It’s really great for maintaining a youthful skin texture. I think everyone should be on a retinol if they can tolerate it.
Great video! A question though: how much ml would you need to get both sides done? I know it's different for everyone but an approx. would be great for cost reference :)
Hi! Which brand of filler is best for tear troughs? I am of Indian heritage and I have very large sunken eyes so I want to get them filled! Plsss reply ❤
Hi Sandra. Most of the time I use Restylane but other hyaluronic acid fillers can also be used. I would say Restylane is probably the most popular here in the US, at least on the west coast (to be used to the under eyes). I would ask whoever would be injecting your under eyes what they prefer.
Hi Ann. Have you not seen any of my other videos? I have spoken about ancestry differences of facial features ex: lips, chin. I treat everyone: African, Asian European, Indo-Aryan, Middle-Eastern, Native American etc.
This is by far the most informative video I have found on this. Thank you! Im going for my first under eye filler treatment next month. I have a question no one seems to be able to answer and maybe you can help. Will I still be able to do facial massage such as Guasha and my home RF and Microcurrent devices? Thanks again!
Hi Liz glad you found this video helpful. I would ask who ever is treating you what they advise about the timing of using a gua sha and RF device to the undereye area after filler. They may say to wait a few weeks before returning to using a gua sha and RF device to the under eye area, but it may be ok to keep using them to other areas of your face. It may be ok to use them to your under eye area a few weeks after getting filler. Hope that helps. Hope you subbed and turned on 🛎.🤗
@@NaturalInjector I did! ( Subscribe and turn in bell. ) What about Microcurrent? Same? She said wait about 2 weeks which is what I do with Botox. Thank you so much.
I’m 74 where are you located I like to try this one . I only need little and I’m scared I have eyes problem my cornea I have to make sure it won’t damage my eyes . I do need little on my jowl but I’m ok I just want little to see how I look I have no crow feet no wrinkles nice video wish all doctors do the same I don’t want to take chances.

I’m glad you made this comparison video! I have just tear troughs, but I felt I wasn’t a candidate because I mostly see people with tear troughs/eye bags getting this done. I truly believed this was only for people with eye bags.
So glad you found the video helpful! There are a lot of people who have the concavity right underneath their eye bags that get this treatment done but you can get this treatment done if you have the concavity, or tear trough without eye bags.
Could PDO threads help in the area to build up collagen naturally and fix the tear trough?
I’ve not heard of threads being used here. I think filler is the better option.
The video was super informative. I'd like to ask about my case tho. I have slight tear through but it doesn't really bother me, it does when I smile, the skin right under the eyes gets super wrinkly with several lines going towards the cheeks and then creating the hollow space right under it. I think it must be genetics because I always had some bent lines coming from the eyes but they became much more prominent when I lost weight and so face fat. I'm 32 and considering doing this treatment but I don't know if that would be right for my case. I'm not sure fillers would actually help in not forming the lines under the eyes when I smile or else will make them more prominent as it'd be more "full" and then it'd make it stick out.
Thanks for watching glad you found the video informative. I really cannot advise much as I would have to see your face but it a lot of people think that tear trough filler will help the lines right underneath their eyes but tear trough filler is not meant for this. It’s meant for people who have a concavity in the area shown in the video. Feel free to book a virtual consult on my website as I can’t really advise much without seeing the area your concerned with.
@@NaturalInjector Thank you so much for taking the time to reply! 💕
@@yos.5684 ☺️
I am obsessed with your videos. So glad I am introduced to these videos.
So glad you found them and you’re enjoying! Hope they’ve been helpful 👍
Great information loved this video !! Thank you
So glad you enjoyed the video Kristy! Feel free to share it with others 🤗
Very informative. Can you please speak to which products you use to fill in? Do you use Belotero, Restalyne, or something else?
I usually use Restylane.
Thank you! Which restalyne product do you like best there? I have both bags and hollowness and one side is worse than the other. Do you usually start with one half of a syringe per side or one full syringe per side? I want to get this treatment done! Can the same product used under the eyes be used to fill a little on the cheek and marionette lines too?
@@duchessdelarue5983 I like regular Restylane for the under eyes. I usually start with 1 syringe for both under-eyes, with around 1/2mL to each under-eye. Sometimes if someone is more hollow I will put a little more of the 1mL syringe to that under-eye. I never do more than 1 syringe to the tear troughs in one visit. I will have the patient return in 2 or 3 weeks and if we need to add a touch more (usually 0.2mL-0.3mL) then we can. I usually start on the side that has more hollowing to ensure we get as much correction as we need and not run out of product.
@@duchessdelarue5983 Yes the same product can be used to fill the cheek also, and if I have product left over I am happy to add a little to the cheek area and have done so for patients if they need it. I sometimes add some to that lid-cheek junction area that I spoke about in the video. As far as adding Restylane to the marionette area, it’s not my favorite product. It’s very stiff and I prefer to use other products to that area like Restylane Refyne, Defyne, Restylane Kysse, Versa, Volbella, or Vollure. However, if someone needs just a touch to their marionette lines and we have a little Restylane left over then I can use it. For a full correction to the marionette lines or perioral area, Restylane is not my favorite.
Love the content. How can I book an appointment with you
How to fix lid cheek junction
Filler can help with loss of volume to the mid-cheek junction.
Thank you for this great video. I will get this done in a few days and under no circumstances will I let them fill my cheeks. I see it all the time with some injectors, they try to cash in on your visit because tear trough only needs 0.5-1ml total and so they convince you the trough needs 'support' from below (??) so they add 2ml per side (!). That makes zero sense. First of all, your contents of undereye tissue aren't hanging like clothes hung out to dry. And second, if they aren't overfilling the trough then why the need for support? And doesn't that cheek then need a support of its own, in the buccal area? Hah. Crazy.
I wish I lived close I'd definitely come and have it done by you.
At one of the conferences I attended this facial plastic surgeon who also does a lot of anatomy courses stated that each tear trough should not get more then 0.5mL on each side. So 1mL total (0.5mL on each side, right and left) because the anatomical space cannot support any more than that. Sometimes people’s cheeks do need to get treated also to give the tissue to the mid face support. Actually when I was filming this video, I found a model who had deep tear troughs and treated her but the before and after was not the best because she also really needed her mid face area done as well. So I used these 2 other models in this video instead because they only really needed their troughs done and were a better example of tear trough injections alone.
The key is to find an injector that you can trust who you won’t advise a treatment that you don’t need. Also make sure they look natural. I just attended a cosmetic conference this weekend in LA and as usual, there were so many over filled faces to the area of the tear troughs and cheeks, kinda cat like 🐱.
@@NaturalInjector Wow thank you for a reply, I didn't expect to get your attention!
Yes, trust is important but the more you know (as a patient) the more you try to vet the doctors beforehand regardless of their reputation and photos. Some use needle to the bone approach directly in the trough, some use very superficial approach with the least dense filler, and some like You know what they're doing and why. So without knowing which technique my dr would use I can't trust him. And as a patient I shouldn't have to know so much about the procedure... it's a complicated situation when it comes to fillers :(
@@glacialimpala Yes it can be confusing for patients. I hope that you find someone that you feel comfortable with.
My under eye filler left after 4 weeks :( I loved the immediate results RIP $1500
I adore your videos. But your lips. Are you filling them? Or what has changed? I’m curious
Glad you enjoy the videos! No I have NEVER filled my lips with filler I only do a lip flip with Botox and this does not add volume to them but works on the muscle to evert the cupids bow. I do wear a lip tint though and it can make my lips “pop” sometimes. Depending on what device the videos are watched on, they can look darker and possibly overpower my look because of the color being darker, depending on which device someone is watching the videos on. I have noticed this when I watch my videos on a TV screen. I’m not the best with makeup lol. Lip tint is something I always wear but I don’t like to wear other makeup.
I have this and I am 23 😢
My fear is that the filler will MIGRATE and then you will have somehow like a small filler ball , falling down the face as it seems it happened to Keily Jenner.
Also people say it affects the linfatic system of your face as the eyes are a crucial area of linfatic drenage.
I have had tear troughs since childhood. You can always dissolve it, that’s the good thing about filler. I share my story of what happened to my tear troughs in this video 👉 th-cam.com/video/g54Oxmn99X0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=AsvGjow0zIPuMITL
@@NaturalInjector thanks a lot I though it was irreversible
@@YFL.111 hyaluronic acid filler is totally reversible
what are your thoughts on under eye PRP?
I prefer filler to this area because the results are so long lasting. I tried PRF to my under eyes and I didn’t see much difference but I also have results from the last time I did filler to my under eyes which was from back in 2015!
@@NaturalInjector thank you so much for your reply! your channel has been very helpful to me :)
@@skrittle555 So glad!
Is using fillers more or less expensive then doing PRF?
@@j.b.duarte3820 I’m not sure as I only do filler. I would think not though because with PRF I believe you need to do a few treatments. Filler under the eyes is very long lasting.
I heard eye follers can turn.out lumpy. Is this true?
It’s possible but very rare. If it happens it’s usually localized to one spot and not often visible.
@@NaturalInjector can you do more before/after videos?
@@NaturalInjector forgot to ask, what do you think of PRP for under eyes?
@@user-pl1hz8pu1p I’m not sure as I have not used it before. I’m so happy with the results from filler.
@@user-pl1hz8pu1p I will. What type of before and after videos? What area of the face or treatment are you interested in learning more about?
I started hating my face because of my tear trough and m only 24 but i feel like they are getting worst especially that i work night shifts nd i study by day , and m hestitating over having filler or not, your video defently made me understand better nd feel better so i can't thank you enough 💜 🥺 however filler is still rarly used where i come from nd overly priced so i really don't know what's the answer for my eye drops ..
Thanks so much for your response and for watching the video. Where do you reside?
@@NaturalInjector THANK You for your kind reply dear Emily i reside really far i come from Algeria and it's a north african country ☺️☺️
@@insafmakri2214 Nice, Algeria, I know where that is. I was actually contemplating some ancestry/geographical differences that I notice with ppl of North African, Middle-Eastern, and Mediterranean ancestry seem to have more hollowness under their eyes. This is what I’ve noticed in my experience in just observing faces.
This is such good informative video. I wish I was close to LA to have the procedure done by you. I'm going to start looking for an injector. What do I need to look for? Is a plastic surgeon office better or a dermatologist office? Or are there independent NP injectors? Please tell me what you recommend. Thank you!
I should probably come out with a video to explain how to find a good injector. I would check out their before and afters and make sure they have done a lot of tear troughs. The title doesn’t matter so much as their experience and approach with injections.
do you use sculptra under the eyes? with all the talk of filler being permanent or migrating i'm kinda worried about long term effects
No not under the eyes. Not many people do. I would suggest finding someone who is very experienced in this area and getting NO MORE than 1 syringe done to both eyes as the anatomy in this area cannot support a lot of filler.
Hi
Can you fix it with sculptura?
No you can’t put Sculptra under the eyes
@@NaturalInjector
I heard about PRF treatment for under the eyes. Do you do that? Lucky me I live here. I am hoping to see you soon. I want to come for sculptura & PRF treatment
@@ethiofoodchannel9219 You live in LA? I currently don’t do PRF because I’ve heard that the results don’t last that long, I will still consider doing it in the future but right now I’m not performing it. I’m having a Sculptra event in September and there will be promotions at the event! Let me know if you’re interested and I can add you to my email list to let you know about the event. I’ll also be posting about the event on the community page
With age, I think these undereye areas sometimes sink in somewhat! My ancestors really aged well but I look like my paternal grandfather and have sunken circles under my eyes! Except for this and somewhat deeper nasolabial fold lines, I really have no wrinkles whatsoever and am almost 68! I was thinking about getting them filled in with Restylane or Sculptra, but recently am hearing some horror stories of patients going blind in one eye or the other due to injections!
Don't do it. Waste of money.
Halillujah halillujah OMG literally you make me feel confident by doing this video what filler do you have using patiently waiting for your response thank you so much
Glad you found the video helpful! I used Restylane
@@NaturalInjector thank you very much
@@ounghoungh1510 You’re welcome
Filling tear troughs is very risky . It may look good right after the procedure , but long-term results are terrible - puffiness , and transformation the rest of the fillers to connective tissue.
What is it that you inject, what filler?
I usually use Restylane.
I lost a lot of volume in my underlids because of minoxidil treatment (yes, its a thing). What did you use for your tear troughs? Because I am amazed that it can last several years. I would love to do the same.
I have tear throughs and want to do my lips. I want everything to look as natural as possible afterwards. Would you suggest to use 1 syringe for all areas? So for each tear through 0.25ml and the other 0.5ml for the lips? And then maybe enhance the results a few months later with another syringe splitted?
great video! how do you treat lid/cheek junction? my lower eye lid skin is much darker and rougher than my cheek skin
Basically, your lid/cheek junction is natural. Most people’s skin to their lower eyelid will be thinner than their upper cheek skin (People of East-Asian ancestry usually have thicker skin to their lower eyelid because of more fat so this junction is not as apparent on them.). I only treat someone has a concavity to their tear trough. I have patients sometimes ask me to do filler to this area because they want their lower eyelid area to be 100% perfect looking and I tell them that tear trough filler is not for that. That’s just my opinion.
Very informative video…thanks!
Glad you found it helpful 😊
Hey I have done my eye fillers 3 days before. I am nervous. May I know after 1 2 week can I normally touch my face treat my face normally like before.
Not sure what do you mean by treating your face like before? You should ask the provider who treated you.
great video! question: do u recommend prf (platelet rich fibrin) for sunken under eyes? or is filler better? thanks
I recommend filler but I also have only tried platelet rich fibrin under my eyes one time. I don’t think it lasted that long. I think filler lasts longer but again, I don’t have a lot of experience with PRF. Some people do both.
@@NaturalInjector do u recommend Restalyne L for the under eye? what filler is good for under eye? thanks
@@hana036 Yes I actually use Restylane to this area. I have also used Versa.
Can you tell me, the gauge of puncture needle and cannula?
Do you know any thing about blepharonat treatment, does it actually work or not?
Blepharoplasty? I have heard that they can reposition the fat and place it where there is a concavity. My channel focuses more on injectables
@@NaturalInjector thank you for your reply but I think this treatment is injectable and also topical gel application to remove under eyebag
@@ezgibayram4841 I have not heard of and injectable and topical treatment to remove eye bags. Injectables don’t remove eye bags only surgery would. There are topicals and I believe one is called plexiderm that helps to decrease eyebags but this only works temporarily.
Do fillers last for hard core gymmers ?
don't let your dr use vollure for under eyes. my dr. used this filler on me and I have lumps.
Funny you say that. I’ve head people say they have had issues with nodules and Allergan’s vycross technology. Thing is they are getting FDA approval for using Volbella to the undereyes and that’s vycross technology just like Vollure. I just treated my first patient with Volbella to her under eyes this week.
@Deborah, did lumps go away??

Did you get tear trough filler?
WhT substance is used?
At 29 in certain lights I notice this! I absolutely hate it . I have no other ageing signs other than this and my acne scarring.
Would like an option that’s more permanent
Tear trough filler is very long lasting. I have done my under eyes 2 times in my life and the last time I did it was in 2015 so it’s been 7 years and from what it looks like now, it looks like it should last another several years. Lots of things don’t last forever, even facelifts have an expiration date so that shouldn’t let it deter you if you think you’re a good candidate.
@@NaturalInjector true! My lip filler has lasted over 3 years and I love the result so hopefully it works in another area. I’m also considering Sculptra because of your other video I watched! 😊
@@bbj4613 That’s great Meg! I love Scultpra I would definitely give it a try if you think your’e a good candidate 😊

Will retinol help with tear troughs at all??
No because retinol works on the surface level improving the skin texture. Tear troughs are a depression or hollow
@@NaturalInjector Thanks. Just thought it increased collagen, so maybe it would help.
@@AmandaRestivo if so it’s on a very very superficial level. It’s really great for maintaining a youthful skin texture. I think everyone should be on a retinol if they can tolerate it.
@@NaturalInjector I am, and have been for 10 years. I’m on the highest 1.0. Hoping I don’t plateau. Haha.
@@AmandaRestivo you shouldn’t 🤗
Can you talk more about the junction
Hi Maryam. Is there any specific question that you had about the lid/cheek junction? I should have probably spoke about it more.
@@NaturalInjector unsure if I have it. I have a rather low hallowing and I guess I wanted to see more pictures of people of different races with it
@@mereiam Unsure if you have the lower eyelid/cheek junction?
Great video! A question though: how much ml would you need to get both sides done? I know it's different for everyone but an approx. would be great for cost reference :)
Yes it’s different for everyone but usually no more than 1/2 a cc or ml on each side. So 1 cc or 1mL total.
How bad does it hurt? Honest answer please!
I didn’t think it hurt, it does feel weird though.
Hi! Which brand of filler is best for tear troughs? I am of Indian heritage and I have very large sunken eyes so I want to get them filled! Plsss reply ❤
Hi Sandra. Most of the time I use Restylane but other hyaluronic acid fillers can also be used. I would say Restylane is probably the most popular here in the US, at least on the west coast (to be used to the under eyes). I would ask whoever would be injecting your under eyes what they prefer.
Is your clinic in Denmark ?
I think she's in California
Oh. Thank u😊
Love it 🔥
Thanks Roger!
@@NaturalInjector Certainly
What filler products do you use?
For this area? I usually use Restylane but I have also used Volbella and Versa to this area as well.
Sorry, of course, but there is something wrong with the skin above your right eyebrow, maybe the effect of injections
Do you treat Black patients??
You never say our race.
Hi Ann. Have you not seen any of my other videos? I have spoken about ancestry differences of facial features ex: lips, chin. I treat everyone: African, Asian European, Indo-Aryan, Middle-Eastern, Native American etc.
This is by far the most informative video I have found on this. Thank you! Im going for my first under eye filler treatment next month. I have a question no one seems to be able to answer and maybe you can help.
Will I still be able to do facial massage such as Guasha and my home RF and Microcurrent devices? Thanks again!
Hi Liz glad you found this video helpful.
I would ask who ever is treating you what they advise about the timing of using a gua sha and RF device to the undereye area after filler. They may say to wait a few weeks before returning to using a gua sha and RF device to the under eye area, but it may be ok to keep using them to other areas of your face. It may be ok to use them to your under eye area a few weeks after getting filler.
Hope that helps. Hope you subbed and turned on 🛎.🤗

I did! ( Subscribe and turn in bell. )
What about Microcurrent? Same?
She said wait about 2 weeks which is what I do with Botox.
