[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think I need this! I keep kidding myself with that concealer.

Can you share some more details? How much approx should this cost? ( I'll need to start saving up!)

Is it a one-time shot that lasts a few months? 
Do you bruise?

TIA![/quote]

I get a little filler in a couple of other areas too, so I forget exactly how much just the tear trough is. Either $600 or $900-- I know, big range! Maybe it's that the filler is $600/syringe and she ends up using like 1.5 of them. But definitely no more than $1000.

For me, it [i]actually[/i] lasts about 10-11 months-- actually, meaning it's approximately as good as new for that long. But some hangs on even past that-- I know because I wouldn't get it done during the bulk of COVID-- I think it ended up being 15-16 months for me. And there was still a little left even then. I think it's supposed to last 9-12. It doesn't wear off as fast as Botox.

It's not exactly a "one-time shot" because it's not exactly a shot. They inject a filler and kinda... mold it in there. But I guess you could say it's two injections at one appointment (one per undereye, obviously)-- could be just one syringe, though. So not one shot, but one appointment gives you the max/optimal results-- not a series, like laser or whatever. The nice thing is that, unlike Botox, the effect is immediate. You walk out of the appointment with full results-- a few dots of blood/etc. and possibly a little swelling notwithstanding.

I maybe bruise a tiny bit? But I don't look like I have two black eyes or anything.  :lol:

To answer another couple of common questions:

I hear it takes a lot of skill to work under the eye and not mess it up, and my nurse injector (RN) is very skilled, so maybe I got lucky. No problems, great-looking every time.

I think you do have to be a bit careful if you get puffiness under your eyes normally, which I don't do much except right upon waking. Some fillers (all?) are hydrophilic, and draw water to the site. I never had this issue.

It does hurt, but it's more really weird-feeling. She gives me numbing cream beforehand, and it's okay... it's just that you hear it kinda crunching in, not like Botox. Maybe because the cannula is bigger and actual... "stuff" is going in? And it takes longer because they are pushing in the "stuff" (filler) and sort of molding it. So it's a bit of an art. Not long, a minute or two, but not a quick shot.

Relatedly, the spot where they inject, and where the needle/cannula has been, is accordingly a little bigger than it is for a smaller vaccine or Botox needle. That causes a red dot/hole (can be concealed) for a week or something, probably around your cheekbone where they go in... it's just a little odd, honestly, still very small, but like... The size of a period in 18-point font instead of 9-point font, IDK.  [/quote]
