What clients typically ask.
Answers below are summaries of widely accepted clinical practice. Your specific plan is always confirmed in consultation.
What is tear trough filler?
The tear trough is the groove that forms between the lower eyelid and the upper cheek as the ligament in this area descends with age, or is present from a younger age due to anatomy. Filler placed carefully in this zone softens the shadow and hollowing that creates the appearance of dark circles and tiredness.
Why is tear trough treatment considered complex?
The under-eye area has thin, delicate skin with a high density of blood vessels, and is in close proximity to the eye. Overfilling, wrong product choice, or incorrect placement depth can produce persistent swelling, a blue discolouration called the Tyndall effect, or nodules. This treatment is assessed carefully and is not always indicated.
Is everyone a candidate?
No. Tear trough filler is not appropriate for clients with significant lower eyelid skin laxity, fat prolapse behind the septum (puffy bags), or primarily pigmentary dark circles, which do not respond to volume replacement. A detailed assessment determines the correct recommendation.
What results can I expect?
When well indicated and correctly placed, tear trough filler can meaningfully reduce shadowing and create a smoother eyelid-to-cheek transition. Results are visible at 2 weeks and can last 9 to 18 months depending on product and metabolism.
What should I know about recovery?
The under-eye area bruises more readily than other parts of the face. Expect 5 to 14 days of bruising and swelling. Sleeping with the head elevated and avoiding heat and alcohol for 48 hours reduces severity.
