Belotero is a hyaluronic acid that was approved by the FDA in November 2011. The sugar protein molecules are crosslinked in such a way that allows it to spread thinly within the tissues, less likely to form clumps and less likely to absorb water. This makes it ideal for the tear troughs as it can be injected at a more superficial level than other fillers.

Benefits
The benefits are complete resolution of tear troughs without surgery or any recovery time.
Recovery
The recovery is rapid and you should be able to do anything within a day of injection.
