The real issue may be loss of skin elasticity (skin sagging) and fat accumulation that causes depressions that run from the nose and around the under eye area. A common nonsurgical fix to this problem is the use of a hyaluronic acid dermal filler, like Juvederm. Juvederm is injected above the bone of the eye socket and gently massaged into the pocket beneath the eye to fill in any hollows and make the eyes appear more rested.
The procedure is quick with minimal pain, most injections take less than 30 minutes.
The results are instant and can last up to twelve months.
Common side effects are mild bruising and swelling. Avoid taking blood thinning medications (aspirin, ibuprofen), supplements (fish oil, garlic), or beverages (alcohol, excessive caffeine)
for 3 days before the procedure.
