WHAT IS UNDER EYE FILLER?
Tear trough filler is a non-surgical injectable treatment designed to correct hollows under eyes and minimize circles and dark shadows.
It is typically performed using a hyaluronic acid filler like Juvederm or Restylane and should be completed by a board-certified plastic surgeon with extensive experience. Making sure that your injector is well-qualified significantly reduces risks associated with administering fillers in close proximity to the eye.
HOW DOES UNDER EYE FILLER REDUCE DARK CIRCLES?
When injected above the bone, but below the muscle, tear trough filler restores volume to the area between the eye and upper cheek. This can correct dark shadows and minor fat pad bulges that present as bothersome under eye circles.
WHAT HAPPENS DURING THE PROCEDURE?
Prior to undergoing injections, the area under the eye is cleansed and numbed with a topical anesthetic. Then a hyaluronic acid filler is precisely injected with an ultra-thin needle or a cannula.
Product is slowly dispensed and molded into place until desired effects are achieved. This process takes approximately 15 minutes.
Immediately after, patients will be pleased to note an immediate improvement to the under-eye area and that they look well-rested and youthful.
Because tear trough filler requires zero downtime, you are free to return to work and resume all normal activities right away.
HOW LONG DO TEAR TROUGH FILLER RESULTS LAST?
Patients can enjoy freedom from dark circles and a rejuvenated appearance for 9-12 months.
