In this video, Dr. David Rapaport, board-certified plastic surgeon and founder of Aethos New York, breaks down the growing trend of PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) injections — and how they compare to hyaluronic acid fillers and fat transfer.
With over 30 years of surgical experience, Dr. Rapaport explains what PRF really is — PRP that’s been heated into a gel form — and why it’s generating interest as a natural option for under-eye rejuvenation. However, he also emphasizes the importance of scientific evidence and realistic expectations when choosing a treatment.
Dr. Rapaport covers:
• What PRF is and how it differs from PRP
• How PRF can temporarily improve under-eye hollowness
• Why its effects are short-term (1–2 months) compared to hyaluronic acid fillers
• The pros and cons of fat transfer vs. filler vs. PRF
• Why he continues to favor hyaluronic acid fillers like RHA or Belotero for predictable, reproducible results
This clear, evidence-based comparison helps patients understand what truly works for long-term, natural-looking lower lid rejuvenation — and what’s just a trend.
