How Much Are Eye Filler Injections

Maybe you’re considering getting the procedure done, but you’ve seen people mention it’s expensive. Or maybe you already have it done and are curious about how much it costs. Either way, we’re here to help.

It’s important to remember that when it comes to cosmetic procedures, there are always going to be variables that can affect the pricing of the service itself. For example, if you have very fine lines and wrinkles around your eyes and want them filled in with a hyaluronic acid filler that lasts up to two years, then your cost is going to be higher than someone who wants the same treatment but only wants it for six months or less.

That being said, the average cost for eye filler injections varies depending on where you get them done—and, of course, which type of filler you choose. In this article, we’ll give you a breakdown of what most patients pay for this procedure at different locations across the country.

We’ll also discuss some factors that can affect how much an eye filler injection costs. We’ll also look at whether or not insurance companies cover this type of procedure as well as other options for getting these treatments if money is an issue.

How Much Are Eye Filler Injections

Eye filler injections are a popular treatment for removing dark bags and creases, but they come with risks and costs. The cost of eye filler injections typically starts at $500 per syringe but can vary by up to $100 per syringe. Factors affecting the cost include the type of filler used, the use of an anesthetic during treatment, the number of syringes needed for full coverage, and any extra time needed due to complications during the procedure.

The cost of eye filler injections depends on the amount injected, the treatment area, and whether the procedure is done by a doctor or at-home injector. For instance, filling the nasolabial folds can cost between $1,000 and $5,000 per treatment. If you also want to reduce wrinkles around your eyes, expect to pay between $1,500 and $2,000 per session. For an instant facelift with dermal fillers injected around the jawline, the cost could be up to $6,000 for these treatments alone.

How long do eye fillers last?

Fillers absorb back into the body over time. They don’t provide permanent results. Here’s how long each filler will last:

• Hyaluronic acid fillers typically last anywhere from 9 months to 1 year.
• Calcium hydroxylapatite typically lasts from 12 to 18 months.
• Poly-L-lactic acid can last as long as 2 years.
• A fat transfer may last as long as 3 years.

How much is 1 syringe of filler?

This is a common question asked by patients, and a good question because so many patients have a misunderstanding of the true amount in a syringe of filler or have been improperly informed by social media and/or inexperienced providers. Most filler syringes contain 1.0 ml (milliliters or cc) of product. This includes products such as Restylane and Juvéderm—which also includes Voluma, Vollure, Ultra, and Volbella. Some fillers do come in larger (e.g., Radiesse-1.5 ml) or smaller sizes, but let’s discuss the vastly more commonly used 1.0 ml syringes. Much of the confusion and misunderstanding is caused by the use of the metric system to quantify the volume or amount in the syringes. That is, they’re using milliliters, not teaspoons or tablespoons. The conversion of 1.0 ml to a teaspoon is about 1/5th. That is, one syringe of filler is equal to 1/5th of a teaspoon—not all that much! Or if you’re looking for a more real-world example, look at a Hershey’s Kiss. A typical Hershey’s Kiss is about ~3.2 ml of volume, or about three syringes of filler. Looking at the accompanying image illustrates the comparative amounts of a syringe of filler. The pictured teaspoon displays a whole dispensed 1.0 ml syringe of filler. This is why one syringe is typically the perfect amount in the right hands to naturally enhance the lips or fill in a few lines and wrinkles but not enough to fully augment the temples, for example.

The difference between under-eye filler injections and tear trough fillers.

The under-eye area is a common cosmetic target for women who are looking to improve their appearance. Most commonly, the hollowing that occurs as we age is addressed with fillers. There are two main types of fillers: tear troughs and under-eye hollows.

Under-eye fillers address the sunken appearance caused by aging in this region of the face. A more common method for treating tear troughs (also known as “tear trough deformities”), however, involves placing a filler into both upper and lower eyelids at the same time. This procedure can be done via incision (with stitches) or nonincisional techniques such as ultrasound needle-free injections and cannula jet injections (also known as nonsurgical facelifts).

The amount you should expect to pay varies greatly depending on where you live and what type of procedure(s) you’re getting done; here’s our breakdown:

Conclusion

If you are considering getting under-eye filler injections, then you have come to the right place. We know that there are many places offering these services, which can make it hard for consumers as they don’t know where to go or who to trust! So before choosing an eye filler injection specialist, do your research and make sure they have experience with this type of procedure.
