Tear Trough Augmentation: Restoring Volume, Brightness, and Confidence
The area beneath the eyes—known as the tear trough—is one of the most delicate regions of the face. It’s also one of the first to show signs of aging, fatigue, and volume loss. When the natural fat pads beneath the eyes begin to thin or shift downward over time, it can create hollows, shadows, and a tired appearance that no amount of concealer can fix.
What Is Tear Trough Augmentation?
Tear trough augmentation is a non-surgical treatment that restores lost volume beneath the eyes using carefully placed dermal filler. The goal isn’t to “fill” the under-eye so much as to rebuild a natural contour—blending the lower eyelid into the upper cheek for a smooth, refreshed transition.
How It Works
A small amount of hyaluronic acid–based filler is injected with precision into the under-eye region. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring molecule in the skin that attracts water and provides structure and elasticity. When injected skillfully, it can:
Diminish dark circles caused by shadowing
Soften hollow or sunken under-eyes
Restore youthful volume
Create a smoother, more rested appearance
At Dr. Lara Devgan Scientific Beauty, our approach to tear trough correction is subtle and anatomical. We customize every treatment based on facial structure, skin thickness, and degree of hollowing—often using a microcannula for precision and safety.
What to Expect
Treatment takes about 15–30 minutes and typically requires little to no downtime. You may experience mild swelling or bruising for a few days, but most patients return to normal activities immediately. Results appear almost instantly and can last 9–18 months, depending on the filler used and your body’s metabolism.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Tear trough augmentation is ideal for those who have:
Deep under-eye hollows or volume loss
Persistent dark circles unrelated to pigmentation
A tired appearance even after good rest
However, not everyone is a candidate. If puffiness, excess skin, or fluid retention are the main issues, surgical lower blepharoplasty may be a better option. A thorough consultation helps determine the safest, most effective approach.
The Art of Subtlety
Under-eye rejuvenation is as much an art as a science. The area is highly vascular and thin, requiring both technical precision and aesthetic restraint. When done correctly, the results are nearly invisible—just a brighter, more rested version of you.
Final Thoughts
Tear trough augmentation offers a minimally invasive way to refresh the face and restore a sense of vitality without surgery or downtime. With the right injector and a tailored approach, you can achieve results that look seamless, natural, and timeless.
