How many cc of filler are needed for under-eye filler injections?

Under-eye filler injections are becoming an increasingly popular option, especially for those with deep under-eye grooves (tear troughs), which are the most common problem, affecting up to 60% of patients. This is followed by palpebromalar grooves (approximately 25%) and eye bags (approximately 15%). The recommended initial amount of filler is 0.5 cc per side to see noticeable results. Filler can address all three problems. The actual amount needed will depend on the patient's age and skin condition.

The doctor will explain about under-eye filler injections, starting at 0.5 cc per side. The reason for this initial estimate is that we don't yet know the specific problems of each patient. However, for noticeable results, the amount used must be appropriate – not too little, and excessive amounts cannot be injected under the eyes as this will result in an unnatural appearance.
