I've been receiving Botox or Dysport for over 10 years, but it has recently stopped working for the area between my brows. My double board-certified facial plastic surgeon suggested using filler instead. However, after conducting some online research, I was alarmed by the warnings about using fillers in this area. Is it risky or can a competent doctor carry out this procedure with minimal risk?
Injecting fillers into the eyebrow furrows is a safe procedure when performed by a knowledgeable plastic surgeon who understands the facial anatomy and the proper depth for injection. Complications often arise when doctors who lack this expertise administer fillers. Being a physician alone does not guarantee qualification. Good luck with your procedure from a plastic surgeon in New York City.
Both of you are correct! It is possible to inject filler into the tear trough area, but caution must be exercised during the procedure due to the presence of numerous vascular connections. Overly aggressive or improperly placed filler in this area can lead to vascular complications, including blindness.
Dermal fillers can be used to soften the lines between the brows, but it should only be done by an experienced and well-trained provider due to the complexity of the area.
