Tear Trough Fillers

The result of tear trough filler is a subtle and refreshing effect, camouflaging the baggy eyes by physically blending the groove between the eye and the cheekbone to improve the shadowed step from the eyelid to the cheek area.

Dark under-eye circles develop because as we age, our cheekbones begin to resorb in our mid-20’s. You could compare this to having less scaffolding to support the tissues holding the fat pads around our eyes and cheeks. Our fat pads are also changing in size and are moving down the face with age.

The thin skin of the eye area also becomes more transparent with age, especially without the camouflage of fat to cover the darker muscle in the tear trough area, enhancing the dark circles and exposing pigment. Our soft dermal fillers essentially have a restorative effect to counteract the decrease in the size of our fat pads. This will not change the action of the muscle.

To fill the hollows between the eye and the cheek, your doctor will inject a dermal filler, most commonly Teosyal Redensity II, to fill the shadowed area. The dermal fillers will smooth the area between the eye and cheekbone for a refreshed and smoothed appearance. This treatment is perfect in combination with cheek filler to rebuild the structure in the face. Tear trough filler is commonly administered with a cannula which offers a more comfortable experience.

The results of this treatment are visible immediately after. Due to the nature of injectables, there may be some slight swelling and bruising, this can go away after a day or two.

Each treatment may vary from one person to another.
