Filler Injection (Eyelid And Face) — Dark Circles, Sunken Eyes

EYELID FILLER INJECTION (“Non-Surgical 3D EYELIFT”)

Facial Filler Injection (“Liquid Facelift”)

One of the main factors that contributes to aging of the eyes and face is loss of volume (fat) from the face and around the eyes. The eye area becomes affected early and prominently during this aging process, creating hollow sunken eyes, hollow upper eyelids with “loose upper eyelid skin,” and hollow under eye area with under eye “bags” or “dark circles” or “tear trough deformity.” Fat loss from around the eye area (temples, brows, cheeks) further exacerbates the problem, contributing to the fall of the eyebrows and cheeks.
Eye Filler Injection Los Angeles

Think of this analogy: Imagine a balloon full of air (similar to a young person with a full face). When you let the air out of the balloon, the balloon sags with wrinkles and folds. The same thing happens with the face and the eyes. As one ages, the loss of fat contributes to a saggy fallen face with wrinkles, skin folds, hollow sunken eyes, eye bags, droopy brows, etc, thus creating a more skeletonized, tired, older eye and facial appearance.

It is true that the skin quality also changes for the worse but true excess stretched skin is not a large factor in eye and facial aging until perhaps after menopause or age 50 in males.  This all means cutting/removing skin (surgery) is not the best solution to the problems stated above, especially before age 50 years old and even after that age as the sole treatment. Rather, restoring volume to the eyes and face will create a NATURAL, YOUTHFUL appearance to the eyes and face.

This lost volume can be restored using either synthetic injectable filler products (such as Belotero, Restylane, Juvederm, Voluma, Perlane, Radiesse, Sculptra) or one’s own fat (where fat is harvested from the belly or thighs and transferred to the eyes and face.  The best products to achieve “nonsurgical eyelid lift” is Belotero or Restylane, which are reversible products made of hyaluronic acid gel (natural molecule in the skin).

Eyelid filler injection is done in the office setting with the patient in a sitting position, with or without numbing cream. It takes 10-15 minutes to fill hollow upper eyelids, which also stretches and “removes” “loose” upper eyelid skin along with 3D brow lifting, in natural youthful manner (aka “nonsurgical 3D upper eyelid lift”).  The same holds true for filler injection in hollow under eye area, thereby eliminating or improving “dark circles” and “tear trough deformity” and “eyelid bags.”

(Please note that if there is true excess lower eyelid bags (fat prolapse), then the best treatment might be lower blepharoplasty with fat removal/repositioning.) The effect of first time eyelid filler (hyaluronic acid gel types) injection lasts about 2 years, while subsequent injections can last even longer. Recovery after the procedure is painless, but there is some swelling/bruising that lasts 1 week on average. Patients in Beverly Hills are free to continue on with their day with little to no discomfort and return to their normal life activities.

I have been a patient of Dr. Taban for over 4 years now … I had been seeing him for botox but I had dark circles/hollowness under my eyes that I wanted to address. .. (I had Restylane filler under eyes by Dr. Taban)… I was extremely happy with my results: I didn’t bruise, had minimal swelling and saw a difference immediately! Dr. Taban is always professional, confident and honest about the results he can deliver …. He is an expert and I highly, highly recommend him.

At my consultation, Dr. Taban answered all my (and my fiance’s) questions, … He was very tactful and suggested a comprehensive plan based only on concerns I mentioned, and did not address a specific issue unless I brought it up. For now, I went ahead with under eye fillers only and the whole procedure was quick and painless!! I was nervous for nothing. Now I look like I’m 24 again, and am very pleased with the result.

Dr. Taban changed my life forever and that’s not my making me look young because I am actually very young 33 however I have suffered from droopy upper eyelids for the past 4/5 years. I often get asked if I don’t get enough sleep! I always looked tired and was starting to look ill, … Dr. Taban changed the look of my droopy upper lids with Belotero filler injections, … Now I look better than when I was 25. Friends and family were amazed by the way I looked but couldn’t not pinpoint what I had done… I thank Gd everyday for the work of Dr. Taban, … Over the months, I’ve referred many family and friends to him …
