Under eyes

This is the most conservative area on the face. Products approved for it, Juvederm Volbella and Restylane Eyelight, are placed with a blunt cannula in small amounts. Some people are better served by their own PRF, or by the lower eyelid surgery Dr. Chopra performs, and that gets said out loud here.

Numbing cream and a blunt cannula, so one entry point instead of many needle pricks. Pressure more than pain.

Puffiness for several days, sometimes a week. Sleep with your head raised. A bruise is possible.

• Pregnancy or breastfeeding
• Puffiness from fat rather than hollowing, which filler makes worse
• Very thin skin that would show the product
• Allergy to lidocaine or severe allergy history

Sydney goes through this with you before anything starts.

PRF as a first step. Lumecca for pigment. Morpheus8 with the eye tip for crepey skin.

In trained hands and small amounts, yes. The area is close to important blood vessels, which is why a cannula is used and why Sydney treats it conservatively.

PRF is your own blood, works gradually over a series, and suits thin skin. Filler is immediate. Many people start with PRF.

Then you hear it here, and the surgeon is down the hall. A lower eyelid lift treats fat and skin that no injection can.
