Before and after comparison of one of Dr. Zuckerman’s Restylane-L tear trough rejuvenation patients in New York City. Patient treated with 1cc of Restylane-L under each eye. Images taken on the day of treatment.

Dr. Zuckerman uses the injectable Hyaluronic Acid filler Restylane-L to correct moderate to severe facial wrinkles, folds and sunken tear troughs. This injectable filler is similar to the Juvederm family of products made by Allergan, but is manufactured by a different company.

A hollowed out or tired appearance under the eyes is a common sign of aging due to the atrophy of orbital fat at the junction between the lower eyelid and cheek. To rejuvenate this area, Restylane-L is Dr. Zuckerman’s dermal filler of choice, and he injects it this filler deep into the tissue, near the bone. The product itself contains lidocaine, an anesthetic, for the comfort of the patient during Restylane injections, and Dr. Zuckerman additionally applies a second topical anesthetic before treatment.

At Zuckerman Plastic Surgery, we also offer the entire line of Restylane products, including Lyft for cheek augmentation, Silk for lip augmentation and Refyne and Defyne for nasolabial folds and marionette lines.
