Wealwaysrecommend seeking out a board-certified doctor or plastic surgeon for these types of specialized procedures.

Is there a particular throw in of filler I should ask for?

Experts tend to reach for different fillers to fulfill different effects within the skin.

The scientific study of this is called rheology, and its basically all about fluid dynamics in the skin.

Even within hyaluronic acid fillers, theres a lot of difference in terms of stiffness, says Dr. Jeanniton.

Under eye, you really dont want a product thats incredibly stiff.

Both of these options, under the eye, would be the wrong choice.

Its going to lay down relatively flat, but give enough support to pick up that tear trough area.

What is a filler appointment like?

She did a quick consultation, where we discussed what my ideal outcomes were and what shed suggest.

Then, she numbed the area with a topical solution, and we got started.

What does under-eye filler feel like when its being injected?

Usually it comes down to the injectors preference.

Dr. Jeanniton prefers the latter.

What I did for your under eye area is laid down a foundation really deep right on the bone.

So I was taking the cannula and sweeping it on your orbital rim, says Dr. Jeanniton.

I cant do that and know Im exactly where I want to be with a needle.

My friend said Ill look un-natural if I get filleris that true?

But in general, we need to move away from stigmatizing cosmetic procedures like this.

Perhaps your pal should listen to this:

How much does under eye filler cost?

Give it to me straight, should I do it?

My go-to advice of the moment is to spend on aesthetics and save on skin care.

If youre curious about the procedure, ask around and find a doctor who provides the service.

Make an appointment and workwiththem to achieve the goals that you have for your face.

But also remember to ask questions, feel confident in your provider…and in yourself too.
