Tear trough fillers have become one of the most popular non‑surgical treatments for refreshing the under‑eye area. Whether you’re concerned about dark circles, eye bags, or true under‑eye hollowing, tear trough filler treatment can help restore a brighter, more rested appearance when performed correctly.
In this guide, we’ll cover how tear trough fillers work, why a consultation is essential, the best tear trough fillers, and answer the most common questions people ask before treatment.
What Are Tear Trough Fillers?
The tear trough is the hollow that runs from the inner corner of the eye toward the cheek. With age, genetics, or lifestyle factors, this area can deepen, creating shadows, dark circles, and a tired appearance.
Tear trough fillers are injectable dermal fillers designed to restore volume, smooth transitions between the lower eyelid and cheek, and improve under‑eye darkness. When expertly placed, they can deliver natural, refreshed results without surgery.
Why a Consultation Is Essential Before Tear Trough Fillers
A thorough consultation is the most important step in determining whether tear trough fillers are suitable for you. Not every under‑eye concern is treated the same way, and incorrect treatment can lead to unsatisfactory results.
During your consultation, we carefully assess:
Skin quality and thickness
Degree of volume loss
Presence of under‑eye hollowing
Eye bags caused by fat perforation (bulging fat pads)
Dark circles caused by shadowing vs pigmentation
Eye Bags vs Under‑Eye Hollowing
It’s crucial to understand that eye bags and under‑eye hollowing are different conditions:
Bulging eye bags are often caused by perforation or protrusion of under‑eye fat pads. These require strategic filler placement in supportive areas to camouflage the bulge rather than directly filling the bag.
True under‑eye hollowing is caused by volume loss and requires precise filler placement along specific anatomical landmarks to restore structure and smoothness.
Each concern requires a different injection technique and landmarks, which is why expert assessment and injector experience are critical.
