When you’re younger, you don’t have to think about the consequences of your actions – that’s half the fun about growing up! As you get older though, some of your choices can come back to bite you. For example, as you navigated through life, you may have enjoyed those all-nighters with friends, but now that you’re older, you are stuck with heavy bags under your eyes which create a very tired and hollowed-out appearance. Getting enough sleep now just won’t cut it, but thankfully there is a way to counteract this result! Avante Plastic Surgery can help you appear more refreshed and youthful with Under Eye Filler in Houston. Below we have provided more information to help you understand the treatment and decide if it’s something you’re interested in.
Introduction to
Under Eye Filler
What is Under Eye Filler?
Under Eye Filler, also called Tear Trough Filler, is a cosmetic treatment that treats the darker circles and hollows under your eyes using Hyaluronic Acid (HA) also referred to as dermal fillers. What is also called deep tear troughs, this affliction can create shadows that look darker than the rest of your skin, resulting in a tired or sunken look with deep indentations. It is widely considered one of the hardest areas to fill because of the skill required to deliver to the right layer, as well as the variability in results.
HA is a compound that your body makes daily to give skin hydration and fullness. Fillers use these properties by formulating HA into a gel, which can be used to add volume in key locations. Your body will naturally absorb the filler over time until your appearance is back to the way it was unless you get maintenance treatments, however, the under eyes tend to be an area that retains filler very well over time.
What are the Benefits of Under Eye Filler?
There are so many benefits to Under Eye Filler, but these are some that our Houston patients regularly see:
- Diminishes skin sagging under the eyes
- Instant results
- No downtime
- Prevents the tired look and rejuvenates the eyes
- Quick treatment
- Reduces dark circles
- Reduces lines and wrinkles under the eyes.
- Replaces lost volume under eyes
Who are the Best Candidates for Under Eye Filler?
The best candidates for Under Eye Filler in Houston are those who are in good general health, maintain realistic expectations, and keep a positive attitude throughout their experience. Some other factors that can make a good candidate include patients experiencing the following:
- Have good skin thickness and elasticity
- Hollowed-out eyes, including medial cheek
- Mild to moderate under bags
If you suffer from having malar festoons (which are located further below the eyelids, more on the upper cheek, and characterized by puffy swelling), we, unfortunately, can not recommend this treatment for you, but may still be able to help. To find out if you’re a viable candidate, please schedule your consultation with Dr. Ahmadi.
What’s the first step for
Under Eye Fillers
If you are interested in getting Under Eye Filler in Houston, the first step you need to take is to contact Avante Plastic Surgery and schedule your consultation. When you come in for this appointment, you will meet with Dr. Ahmadi to discuss your treatment goals, ask any questions you may have, and have the area under your eyes examined. You will also be asked some questions regarding your medical history and lifestyle, so it is very important to be open and honest with him to prevent any unnecessary risks. Once he has the information he needs, Dr. Ahmadi will create your treatment plan and if you agree with it, we can perform the filler on the same day, or our Patient Coordinator can help you schedule an appointment at a later date.
What to Expect on the Day of Under Eye Filler
When it’s time for your Under Eye Filler treatment, it will be performed in our office so you will first make yourself comfortable in our reclining chair. Your skin will be disinfected to prevent any infection and a topical anesthetic will be applied under your eyes so that you have a more tolerable experience. In some situations, we may also offer an ice pack to place against your lower eyelids. Both techniques will numb the treated area and help reduce pain.
Dr. Ahmadi will begin by taking a syringe containing the filler and injecting it into the skin beneath your lower eyelid(s). He will then carefully withdraw the needle, followed by lightly massaging the area to help spread the filler around. If the two of you are satisfied with the results, he will move on to the other eyelid if needed and repeat the process.
Under Eye Filler Recovery
Once you are finished with your injections, you will be able to return home. We strongly recommend having a ride available because you may have difficulty seeing due to potential bruising, swelling, and redness. These symptoms are to be expected and should begin to dissipate over the next few days.
You will want to avoid intense activity for the next few days and use an ice bag during that time to reduce swelling and discomfort. You will also need to avoid sleeping face down for a few days so you don’t accidentally move the filler around. If you feel any lumpy areas, you can lightly massage them with your fingers. We will provide you with all of the post-treatment directions you’ll need to achieve your optimal appearance.
How Much Does Under Eye Filler Cost in Houston, TX?
The cost of Under Eye Fillers in Houston is entirely based on how much filler is needed, among a few other factors.
