Dr Rivkin, I just browsed your website and have a question on the number of syringes typically needed to fill the tear trough area?
hi,
for the under eye treatment i usually charge as a procedure cost, not by how much i use. the reason is that i usually see people back one or two times to make sure that the contour is perfect. sometimes we have to do touch-ups or reduce a slight swelling with the enzyme. this way, i do not charge for touch ups or return visits.
the amount i usually use is about 0.3 to 0.5 cc depending on how deep and how extensive the tear troughs are. occasionally i use 0.8, but that is only for patients with really extensive indentations, coming around the eyes.
