Lower eyelid depression filling

Loss of facial volume, fat absorption, sagging and thinning skin tissue, and the natural aging process are all reasons that can cause the appearance of hollows under the eyes or under the lower eyelids. Many women and men may suffer from a tired and exhausted appearance, commonly referred to as ‘bags’ or ‘dark circles’ under the eyes. In recent years, innovative and effective methods have entered the world of aesthetic treatments, completely changing the picture and allowing millions of people around the world to enjoy their benefits. One of these treatments is hyaluronic acid injection, and when it comes to filling hollows under the lower eyelids, this treatment can be particularly beneficial.

Lower eyelid hollow filling: What is hyaluronic acid?

First, we need to understand what hyaluronic acid is and why it is so effective for our facial skin. It is actually a substance found naturally in our body and whose main function is to absorb water, restore volume and elasticity to the skin, and stimulate the production of collagen and elastin. In the various joints, it maintains joint function and lubrication.

The injected substance is hyaluronic acid, which is produced in a laboratory under proper production conditions, but it serves the same purpose and is very close in its composition to natural hyaluronic acid. The meaning of injecting hyaluronic acid into the relevant areas of each person’s face is to fill in depressions and wrinkles, increase collagen production and renew the skin, as well as to give a younger, tighter and more aesthetic appearance under the eyes and in the face. The acid also has a significant lifting effect and, with unique injection techniques, can be given a natural appearance by restoring volume and elasticity.

How and why do hollows under the eyes form?

Over the years, there is a gradual absorption of bone and fat, and a depletion of collagen and elastin tissue. As a result, there is a relative drooping of the central face, midface descent, and at the same time a normal eyelid fat margin bulges. When the fat bulge appears above the depression, its appearance emphasizes the depression and the dark circles. In addition, the eyelid skin is very delicate, lacking subcutaneous fat tissue, and the color of the expression muscles is accentuated. This fact contributes to dark circles under the eyes.

Lower eyelid dimple filling: Who is the treatment suitable for?

Filling depressions under the eyelids using hyaluronic acid injections is a treatment that can be suitable for men and women who suffer from deep or subtle depressions, bags under the eyes, and loose skin in the area under the lower eyelids.

The treatment can also be suitable for people who want to achieve a more uniform tone and texture of the facial skin, as well as an impressive, alert and more aesthetic appearance. The most precise degree of suitability for the treatment will only be determined in a consultation with Professor Guy Ben Simon, who will be able to examine the condition of the depressions, their depth and share with you the realistic results that can be achieved through this treatment, or another one that is more suitable.

How is the treatment for filling hollows under the eyes performed?

The treatment is performed similarly to other filler injection treatments, and does not require special preparation, lasts between 10 and 20 minutes depending on the injection areas, and is not accompanied by significant pain. The treating physician injects the hyaluronic acid into the designated area using a syringe with a fine needle or cannula, after which you can continue your daily routine as usual without the need for any recovery period. In some cases, swelling and subcutaneous hemorrhages may occur, and these disappear up to two weeks after the injection.

The treatment is minimally invasive and does not require anesthesia of any kind, except for an anesthetic cream at the patient’s request.

Are there any risks and complications to treatment?

The results of the treatment can be seen immediately, but it should be taken into account that mild side effects may appear and usually disappear after about two or three days. Among them – bruising, slight swelling and redness. The best effect is observed 2-4 weeks after the treatment, at which time it can be decided whether there is room for further treatment. As a rule, it is better to achieve partial benefit than to receive side effects of edematous swelling in cases of excessive injection. The area under the eyes is delicate and can absorb a limited amount of hyaluronic acid.

Injection of fillers is a treatment that is characterized by a high safety profile, and therefore the chances of complications during or as a result of the treatment are very low and exceptional. Among those complications are edema, the formation of subcutaneous lumps, and more. In cases where the aesthetic result is not desired, or significant edema or vascular disorder appears, the acid can be dissolved with the enzyme hyalase.
