The under-eye area is one of the first places to show signs of fatigue, even when you’re well-rested. As volume shifts and the skin thins, the transition between the lower eyelid and cheek can appear hollow or shadowed. Under-eye filler uses small, careful adjustments to smooth this area and bring back a brighter, more awake appearance.
These facial balancing treatments are performed by Julie Lorenzo at Jewels x Aesthetics in Parkland, Florida. Julie approaches the under-eye area with a focus on subtle correction.
What Is Under-Eye Filler?
Under-eye filler uses hyaluronic acid (HA) gel to replace lost volume beneath the eyes. Because this area is delicate, the filler must be carefully placed to avoid puffiness, irregularities, or an unnatural appearance. When performed correctly, under-eye filler creates a more awake, rested look without altering the natural shape of the eyes.
Benefits of Under-Eye Filler
- Softens hollows and shadowing
- Reduces the appearance of dark circles from volume loss
- Creates a smoother under-eye contour
- Helps the midface look lifted and refreshed
- Offers natural-looking results with minimal downtime
Who Is a Good Candidate?
You may be a good candidate for under-eye filler if you have:
- Hollowing beneath the eyes
- Shadowing caused by volume loss
- A harsh transition between the eyelid and cheek
- A tired appearance even when well-rested
Julie evaluates each patient individually—if filler is not the safest or most effective solution (such as in cases of significant puffiness or malar edema), she will explain why and recommend a better alternative.
What Fillers Are Used?
Julie only uses fillers appropriate for the delicate under-eye area. These may include:
- Restylane Eyelight: Brightens and smooths under-eye hollows
- Restylane L: Lightweight support when subtle correction is needed
Not every filler is safe for this region, and Julie uses conservative, anatomy-based methods to ensure the best possible outcome.
The Under-Eye Filler Treatment Process
Your appointment begins with a detailed evaluation of your under-eye anatomy, including skin thickness, fat pads, midface support, and movement. Julie considers how your cheeks, tear troughs, and temples interact—because treating the under-eyes often involves understanding the whole midface.
During treatment, small, controlled injections or a cannula may be used to place the filler safely. Julie works in light layers to avoid puffiness or heaviness. Most patients experience mild pressure rather than pain, thanks to the numbing present in many HA fillers.
Recovery and Results
Under-eye filler typically requires minimal downtime. Mild swelling or small bruises can occur and usually resolve within a few days.
Timeline
- Immediately: Hollowing looks reduced
- First week: Swelling settles and results refine
- 2 weeks: Final results
Results generally last 9 to 12 months, depending on the person, filler type, and anatomy.
Under-Eye Filler and Facial Balancing
Treating tear troughs often goes hand-in-hand with cheek support. When the midface lacks volume, the under-eyes can appear deeper—even if the tear trough itself isn’t severe. Julie may recommend combining under-eye filler with cheek augmentation or subtle midface support for the most natural, cohesive outcome.
