Biological & Anatomical Mechanism
Hyaluronic acid filler is placed strictly in the pre-periosteal space beneath the sub-orbicularis oculi fat (SOOF) and deep to the orbicularis retaining ligament. This gently lifts the sunken groove to meet the contour of the cheek without placing pressure on the delicate lymphatic drainage of the lower eyelid.
The Plastic Surgeon Advantage
The infraorbital region contains the infraorbital neurovascular bundle and angular vessels. Injecting too superficially or with sharp needles can cause long-lasting bluish lumpiness (Tyndall effect), persistent festoon edema, or vascular compromise. As a plastic surgeon who performs surgical lower blepharoplasty, Dr. Purohit knows this anatomy intimately.
Ideal Candidate Profile
- Hollow, sunken grooves beneath the lower eyelids casting dark shadows.
- Tired appearance despite adequate sleep and healthy lifestyle.
- Patients with good lower eyelid skin elasticity without massive herniated fat bags.
- Individuals seeking a refreshed periorbital look without blepharoplasty surgery.
Essential Aftercare Protocol
- Sleep on your back with your head slightly elevated for the first 2 nights.
- Do not apply direct pressure, ice packs forcefully, or rub the under-eye area for 48 hours.
- Avoid strenuous gym exercise, hot tubs, and saunas for 48 hours.
