What Is Tear Trough Augmentation?
Tear trough augmentation is a non-surgical procedure designed to restore volume and smooth the transition between the lower eyelid and cheek. This treatment addresses hollowness, shadowing, and early signs of aging that can make the under-eye area look tired. By carefully placing dermal fillers in this delicate region, patients can achieve a refreshed and more youthful appearance.
How Does It Work?
A precise technique is essential for natural-looking results. Rather than using a single-plane filler approach, a layered method ensures both support and seamless blending. The first layer of hyaluronic acid filler is placed deep, just above the bone, to provide foundational support. A second, more superficial layer is then added to refine the contour and prevent overfilling. This dual-plane technique helps maintain the natural structure of the under-eye area while minimizing the risk of puffiness or migration.
Benefits and Results
Tear trough augmentation can significantly reduce the appearance of dark circles and under-eye hollowness, creating a smoother and more youthful look. When performed correctly, the results are subtle yet effective, enhancing the under-eye area without heaviness or irregularities. The procedure is minimally invasive, with little to no downtime, and results typically last between six months to a year, depending on individual factors.
Is It Right for You?
This treatment is ideal for individuals with under-eye hollowness rather than puffiness caused by excess fat. A consultation with an experienced injector is crucial to assess whether tear trough augmentation is the best option or if alternative treatments may be more suitable. With the right approach, this procedure can provide a natural and long-lasting improvement to the under-eye area.
