Let Your Eyes Tell a Whole New Story With Under Eye Filler
There is a saying that the eyes are the silent storytellers of one’s life journey. As we age, that story may begin to tell a tale of tired tragedy but with the help of under eye facial fillers can be transformed into one of youthful, well rested triumph. Given the delicate nature of the under-eye area choosing an experienced and qualified injector is key to take those eyes from sleepy to spectacular. At Porto Cosmetic Surgery in Fishers, Indiana patients can rest assured their tired, hollow, and aging under eye area will be a story rewritten thanks to the skilled hands of Dr. Steven Porto.
The under eye, also commonly referred to as tear troughs, are an area prone to show some of the earliest signs of aging due to the delicate nature of the skin. As the body naturally ages volume loss gradually occurs with the loss of fatty tissues in the under-eye area. Skin can appear crepey as collagen and elastin level production decreases over time. Collagen and elastin keep skin looking hydrated, plump, and retain that youthful glow we all seek to maintain. Volume loss then causes the appearance of dark circles even when you are perfectly well rested. No, not even caffeine can cure that not so exhausted exasperation of the unwanted under eye bags. Under-eye filler aims to quickly and non-invasively soften and smooth these under eye concerns yielding transformative results for fresher, smoother, brighter eyes.
So how do these pesky dark circles and under eye bags enter the story our eyes are trying to tell? Light absorbed under the eye, especially when accentuated by hollowness, can create the appearance of shadows, discoloration, or dark circles. Mild fat pockets beneath the eye, or “bags” as many have come to know and loathe, create a puffy and similarly tired appearance around the eye area. These concerns can be attributed to a number of causes including genetics, diet, sun exposure, naturally gaining, smoking, and fatigue. Under eye filler can smooth the skin and plump sunken in areas thus allowing light to reflect properly and even out volume. Pack your bags and step into the light!
As with any cosmetic procedure or injectable there are those who are ideal candidates and others who may need to consider alternatives to achieve their optimal desired result. Those with vascular discoloration or skin pigment concerns are not ideal candidates for under eye filler. Patients with noticeably larger fat pads in the under-eye area or “festoons”, fluid filled sacs that can appear mound like, would achieve their best outcome with lower blepharoplasty surgery as a treatment option. Patients experiencing hollowness, volume loss, and slight fat pads beneath the eyes can achieve refreshed, youthful and immediate results particularly with hyaluronic acid-based fillers.
Hyaluronic acid (HA) occurs naturally within the human body stimulating collagen and elastin but does decrease in the natural aging process. HA based fillers are ideal for boosting the suppleness, hydration, and volume to skin while simultaneously continuing to encourage the body to continue the production of the ever-important collagen and elastin. These fillers are optimal for the delicate under eye area and brands such as Juvederm Volbella, Restylane, and Belotero offer a variety of formulations of the HA molecule to allow it to be as thin, pliable, and precise as possible under the eye. The procedure is quick, usually lasting around 15 minutes following the application of a topical numbing cream and results are immediate. Aside from possible slight bruising or swelling no downtime is necessary to transform the under eyes from weary to wonderful. On average results from these hyaluronic based fillers can be expected to last between 9 to 12 months before a touch up is needed.
