A good candidate for tear trough filler is someone with under-eye hollows, dark circles, fine lines, or thinning skin in the tear trough area. Dermal filler injections not only restore volume to improve the hollowed appearance, but they also help to strengthen and thicken the skin. This can reduce the visibility of underlying blood vessels, leading to a softer, brighter look and an overall improvement in dark under-eyes.

The tear trough filler procedure is relatively quick; after your consultation, the injection and placement can generally be completed within a short appointment usually 15-30 minutes, using a cannula to reduce risk and bruising.

Any discomfort is usually minimal. Dr. Aguilar uses a cannula technique to reduce trauma and bruising, and topical numbing cream can be applied in the clinic to make the procedure as comfortable as possible.

Immediately after treatment, you may notice some swelling, redness, or mild bruising around the under-eye area. These effects usually settle, and your final result becomes more apparent once swelling has subsided over a couple of weeks.

Results from tear trough filler are visible immediately. You’ll see instant improvement in under-eye hollows, which will refine further as swelling reduces.

During your consultation, Dr. Aguilar will assess your individual concerns and advise on the most effective combination to safely enhance your under-eye area and overall facial balance.

Tear trough filler is not recommended in cases of pronounced under-eye puffiness or bulging fat pads, where surgical interventions may be more appropriate. Also, if you have skin conditions, weakened tissues, or on certain medications, Dr. Aguilar will advise whether the treatment is safe for you during your consultation.
