Can I use Artefill under my eyes?
I just got Restylane above my lips (the smoking lip area), and after 3 hours it was completely gone. I am scared to try Restylane under the eye due to my skin absorbing the product too fast. My physician recommended I get Artefill. Would that work? I am 40 years old and my eyes are not too bad.

I do not suggest Artefill be injected under the eyes. It is only indicated for the nasolabial folds and marionette lines. If you inject it under the eyes it can become lumpy and larger as it grows. Remember, Artefill continues to grow for 3 months. It is permanent and you should not plan to be able to have it removed if you are not happy with it.

Artefill is not FDA approved for under the eyes.

I had ArteFill injected in November and immediately saw results, but the results disappeared after about 1 month. Since the bovine collagen was absorbed, will my face produce collagen in those areas in order for it to fill back in?
