What is Tear Trough Filler?

Tear trough filler treats the hollow groove that runs between the lower eyelid and the cheek — an area that can cause a sunken, tired, or aged appearance even when you are well rested. It is one of the most delicate filler treatments available and requires an injector with specific experience in the periorbital area.

Hyaluronic acid fillers such as Restylane and Juvederm are most commonly used. Most patients require only 0.5 to 1 syringe per treatment, and results last 9 to 18 months. The periorbital area absorbs filler slowly, which is why less product is typically used here than in other facial areas.

Not every patient with under-eye hollowing is a good candidate for filler. Dark circles caused by thin skin, hyperpigmentation, or prominent blood vessels respond better to other treatments. Your injector should assess whether volume loss is actually the cause before proceeding.

Frequently asked questions

How much does tear trough filler cost?
Tear trough filler across the US typically costs to per syringe. Most patients use 0.5 to 1 syringe, for a total of to . The under-eye area requires less product than other facial areas.
How long does tear trough filler last?
Tear trough filler typically lasts 9 to 18 months. The under-eye area has less movement than the lips or mouth, which helps filler last longer. Many patients find that each subsequent treatment lasts slightly longer as some residual filler remains.
Is tear trough filler safe?
Tear trough filler is safe when performed by an injector with specific experience in the periorbital area. The risks include bruising, swelling, the Tyndall effect (a bluish tinge from filler placed too superficially), and rarely, vascular occlusion. Always ask specifically about your injector's experience with under-eye treatment before booking.
What is the Tyndall effect?
The Tyndall effect occurs when filler is placed too superficially under the thin under-eye skin, causing a visible bluish or grayish discoloration. It is one of the most common complications of tear trough filler and is treated by dissolving the filler with hyaluronidase. It is avoidable when the injector uses the correct depth and product.
Will tear trough filler fix my dark circles?
It depends on the cause. Dark circles caused by volume loss and shadowing respond well to filler. Dark circles caused by thin skin revealing underlying blood vessels, hyperpigmentation, or genetics respond better to treatments like laser, chemical peels, or topical retinol. A good injector will assess the cause before recommending filler.
