Undereye Filler

  1. Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Fillers: These are the most commonly used fillers for the tear trough area because of their safety profile and reversibility. Popular choices include:
    • Juvederm Volbella
    • Restylane Silk or Restylane-L

  • Reduces the appearance of under-eye hollows and bags.
  • Minimizes dark circles caused by shadowing.
  • Provides a more rested and youthful appearance.
  • Less invasive than surgical alternatives, such as blepharoplasty.

HA fillers in the tear trough area can last between 6 months to 2 years, depending on the individual and the specific filler used. Some people metabolize fillers faster than others.

  • The under-eye area might be numbed with a topical anesthetic.
  • The filler is carefully injected into the tear trough region using a needle or a cannula.
  • The injector might gently massage the area to ensure even distribution and to mold the filler.
  • Avoid rubbing or touching the treated area for a day.
  • Avoid strenuous exercise, sun exposure, saunas, and alcohol for at least 24 hours post-treatment.
  • Some practitioners advise avoiding sleeping face-down or applying direct pressure on the area the night after the treatment.
  • Cold compresses can be applied to reduce swelling.

The tear trough area is delicate and requires a skilled approach. When considering tear trough fillers, it’s essential to choose a provider with significant experience in this specific procedure to minimize risks and achieve optimal results. If complications arise or if a patient is dissatisfied with the results, HA fillers can be dissolved with an enzyme called hyaluronidase.
