Under Eye Filler in Chicago, IL

How Does Under Eye Filler Work?

Under the eye rejuvenation with Dr. Shah & Dr. Chughtai is designed to soften the hollows under the eye so that the eye will look more rested. Here are Dr. Shah’s key steps to creating a more rested lower eye:

1. Diagnosis: The key step is to determine what is the cause of the disharmony in the lower eyelid. In some cases, it could be as a result of a medical condition such as allergies or thyroid condition causing increased swelling or darkness around the eyes. In other cases, a lower lid blepharoplasty or eyelift may most appropriate. A key step in diagnosis is understanding of the underlying anatomy of the lower eyelid area and appreciation of facial aesthetics.
2. Technique: Injecting facial filler is technically demanding and requires an understanding of proper placement of the material. Dr. Shah uses a specific technique to minimize any palpability of the filler, which is critical due to the thin delicate skin under the lower eyes. Technique is also responsible for minimizing bruising by placing the filler away from the blood vessels in this area. This technique to placing filler was learned by Dr. Chughtai, giving her patients the same results.
3. Material: Dr. Shah & Dr. Chughtai only recommend the use of a hyaluronic acid filler such as Juvederm or Restylane or the use of autologous fat. He uses fat typically in conjunction with a surgical rejuvenation procedure.
