I’m searching for a new practitioner for tear trough filler after pregnancy. I had an OK experience before, however a few things put me off going back to the same person. While researching, other practitioners have suggested Juvederm Volbella. But – probably due to too much Instagram and researching – others have said to stay away from all Juvederm products around the eyes at all costs. I’m just wondering if there’s any way of getting clarity on this somewhere.

I know what you mean about googling, it’s enough to put you off anything. Tear troughs are tricky to treat and not everyone is a good candidate for filler in this area (if your eyes tend to go puffy and baggy and hold fluid anyway, the last thing you want is hyaluronic acid gel, which holds more fluid, in the area). Re brands/ products, it’s more about the practitioner than the product. I.e. a good practitioner will know a) whether you’re suitable for tear trough injections and b) what to use to get the result you’re looking for.
