Tear-Trough Treatment
The tear trough, the delicate area beneath the eyes, holds considerable importance in facial appearance.
Its smoothness contributes to a youthful and rested look. However, factors like aging, genetics, and lifestyle can lead to hollowing, puffiness, or dark circles, imparting a tired or aged appearance.
Tear trough fillers play a pivotal role in rejuvenating this area. By carefully injecting filler into the tear trough, volume is restored, shadows are minimized, and the transition between the lower eyelid and cheek is smoothed. This revitalizes the eyes, reducing the appearance of under-eye bags and tiredness.
The benefits of tear trough fillers extend beyond cosmetic enhancement. They can enhance self-esteem, promote a more refreshed facial expression, and even alleviate the psychological impact of looking fatigued.
Nonetheless, this procedure requires meticulous skill and understanding of facial anatomy. Only a trained professional should perform tear trough filler injections to avoid complications. When executed with expertise, tear trough fillers can produce natural-looking results that contribute to a harmonious and youthful facial appearance, making individuals feel more confident and content.

FAQs
What is the tear trough filler procedure?
It involves injecting dermal filler into the hollows or depressions under the eyes, known as tear troughs or under-eye bags. It is used to address issues like dark circles, hollowness, and bags under the eyes, resulting in a more refreshed and youthful appearance.
How do tear trough fillers work?
Tear trough fillers typically consist of hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the skin. When injected, the filler adds volume to the under-eye area, smoothing out hollows and reducing the appearance of dark circles. It can also stimulate collagen production, improving skin quality over time.
Is the procedure painful?
Most patients experience minimal discomfort during the tear trough filler procedure. We use the cannula technique, introducing a small, blunt-tipped needle under the skin, thereby reducing the risk of discomfort and bruising. Additionally, most dermal fillers contain a numbing agent and additional topical numbing cream can be applied to enhance comfort.
How long does the tear trough filler procedure take?
The procedure is relatively quick, often taking 15 to 30 minutes.
What’s the downtime like?
There may be some mild swelling, redness, or bruising in the treated area, which typically subsides within a few days. Most individuals can resume their normal activities immediately after the procedure.Â
How long do tear trough fillers last?
The longevity of tear trough fillers can vary among individuals but results typically last around 6 to 12 months. Maintenance treatments may be needed to sustain the desired outcome.
Are there any risks or complications?
Tear trough filler treatments are generally safe when performed by a qualified healthcare professional. However, as with any medical procedure, there are potential risks, including infection, asymmetry, or an allergic reaction.
Who is a suitable candidate for tear trough fillers?
