Tear trough filler has gained a lot of attention recently. The injectable
treatment uses
dermal fillers to add
volume below the eyes. It smooths
under-eye hollows
and targets those deep, shadow-casting creases for an instantly revitalized
look. If you’re thinking about booking an appointment and kicking your
concealer to the curb, here are four things you should know first:
It works best for volume loss: If the area under your eyes
has sunk in and created a deep crease, then you might be an ideal candidate
for tear trough filler. It is best used to add or restore volume between
your lower lids and upper cheeks. Swelling, on the other hand, is not
usually treated with these injections. Neither is hyperpigmentation. If you
shine a light directly on your face and still see discoloration under your
eyes, then you likely have hyperpigmentation.
The results typically last for a year: While every patient
is different, most can enjoy the results of their tear trough filler
appointment for approximately one year before needing a touch-up. Filler
tends to have good longevity under the eyes because that area isn’t as
mobile as other parts of the face. That means the filler usually isn’t
broken down as quickly.
It matters who performs your injections: Seeking out a
skilled provider for any type of facial injections is a must. However, it
becomes even more important when dealing with the delicate area under the
eyes. Dr. Shaun Patel has provided safe and effective tear trough treatments
in Miami for many years. He uses a gentle technique and a
microcannula
to significantly minimize side effects like bruising.
Some fillers are better than others: Your favorite lip or
chin filler may not be the right fit when it comes to treating your tear
troughs. We have a
blog dedicated to the pros and cons of using different fillers
in this area. In short,
Restylane® is the only option
that we recommend. Dr. Patel believes it achieves the most significant and
long-lasting results with fewer side effects.
