fillers for under the eyes (eye toughs, dark circles)

[Newhere2]

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone had experience of these and would you recommend them?

I have 'fat loss', due to ageing I guess under my eyes and continual circles / troughs visible. Its the first thing I see when I look at my face. Anyway I've spoken to a few people and it appears fillers are the least invasive way to lessen the appearance of the circles.

How often have you needed it done?
when it has worn off is it worse than when you had it done the first time?

Any other comments appreciated.

thx

No advice but also suffer so watch with interest.

My dermatologist had ocular fillers done. She said it was bloody painful and there was a hell of a lot of bruising. Once it went down, she looked really good. She said it is highly specialist work and that you need a doctor who had had advanced training in them. She said there was way she'd consider giving them to patients. If you are in London, I can ask her who she used, if you want.

NO way. Sodding nexus

I wouldn't do it. A friend had it done and ended up with recurring bilateral bruising about once a month, which made her look like a mugging victim. And when it was gone she looked worse than before (because now there is a whole in the tissue).

When I saw this thread I thought you were asking about make up.
I realise that you are not, but maybe you might consider it anyway?
My DD gave me an amazing product for xmas. It's Soap and Glory's the Fill Monty. Stupid name but it works brilliantly on my 48 yr old pronounced eyebags.

CoteDazur thats awful, I haven't had that talked about as a potential side effect from the doctors I've spoken with. Did she see someone recommended as good? like Harley street level?

Make up is ok, but what I'd really like is to be able to be makeup free and also not to have a refection in the sunken areas when wearing makeup.

I have under eyes like this. I wonder I there is anything to thicken up the skin underneath so that the blood showing through the skin isn't as noticeable? I know you can get stuff to depuff the under eye area but I need something to puff it up!

Yes, she went to a well-known, reputable practitioner.

One thing they don't tell you is that fillers are not approved for the tear trough. They are approved for the nose-to-mouth lines.

The skin under the eyes is incredibly thin and delicate.

There have been reports of blindness.

Suppose at least then you don't see the bags.

Wow I hadn't hear of blindness either.

Botox pulls up slightly the skin around the eyes and significantly decreases the appearance of circles/troughs under them. You might like to give that a go.

The area contains feeding blood vessels to the eye and should they be injected it can cause permanent blindness. This is not a complication that has happened much in the history of this treatment, but one must be warned. Injection technique and experience lowers this risk.

I had this problem really young - I got these really noticeable under eye troughs when I was only 23 and people were always telling me I looked way older than I actually was, it was horrible!

Through a series of flukes though I discovered this eye cream by a brand called "Darphin", it's not marketed as being a solution for this problem but it worked wonders for me (despite a few professionals saying there was no topical product that could do this)! I now have to order it online although I used to be able to buy it in House of Fraser. They have different types for different age ranges. I have been using it for just under ten years now and have not had the problem since. I'd recommend it although I'm aware that I was/am younger than some who have this issue so I can't vouch for how it would work on skin older than mine. My troughs were REALLY noticeable though, despite my age. So it might be worth trying.

Benefit Fake Up is fab stuff.

Sorry - it fixed the sunken hollows but I don't know if it would work for dark circles. I use thick MAC concealer for dark pigmentation I have round my eyes (which noone seems to know the cause of and which touche eclat) but it might be too thick for anyone with wrinkles. I'm getting a few and it's not so great any more but before that it was excellent. It's what some make-up artists use to cover up tattoos on actors and actresses on film sets apparently. Or have you tried touche eclat? My dark pigmentation is too dark for it but before I had it it was great for the kind of dark circles that you just get from being a bit tired.
