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.
