Disease description:

I have very high standards for my appearance. Recently, I noticed that the area under my lower eyelids seems to lack some fullness. I heard that hyaluronic acid injections can create a natural "crescent roll" effect, making the eyes look more gentle and charming. Therefore, I would like to ask, to achieve the ideal crescent roll effect, how many syringes of hyaluronic acid are generally required?

Generally speaking, creating the "eye bugle" effect requires a dose of 1 to 2 syringes of hyaluronic acid.

Hyaluronic acid injection is a common minimally invasive cosmetic procedure used to fill facial wrinkles, increase facial volume, and improve facial contours. Regarding the creation of the eye bugle effect, hyaluronic acid can effectively fill depressions below the lower eyelid, creating a natural plumpness that makes the eyes appear softer and more expressive. However, the exact number of hyaluronic acid syringes required to achieve the desired effect mainly depends on individual eye shape, skin condition, and the desired level of fullness for the eye bugle.

If the eyes are relatively large and therefore require a larger area for the eye bugle, a higher dose of hyaluronic acid will generally be needed. Conversely, if the eyes are smaller and the required eye bugle area is relatively smaller, the dose of hyaluronic acid injected will also be correspondingly reduced. During the injection process, the physician will design a personalized treatment plan according to the specific situation to ensure the injection outcome aligns with the individual's expectations. At the same time, to avoid undesirable consequences such as baggy eyes, over-injection should be avoided.

After the injection, it is important to follow the physician's instructions for proper eye care and avoid strenuous activities and massaging the treated area to prevent compromising the overall effect of the eye bugle.
