Filling the Tear Troughs | Tear Trough
What is Tear Trough?
The tear trough consists of depressions running from the nose to the eyes. Tear trough correction occurs in the region of the face where there are wrinkles and your eyes develop dark circles or hollows over time. As we age, we lose fatty tissue in the tear trough under the skin in the lower eyelid and on the upper cheek. The undereye lid’s skin and muscles eventually lose suppleness and stability. The tear trough changes may cause puffiness or bulging of the eyes due to depression away from the face. “Bags” occur under the eyes when the tissue behind the eye protrudes. Having treatment to fill the tear troughs is a great solution.
What is Tear Trough Filler?
Tear trough treatment, also known as undereye dermal filler treatment, is a form of dermal filler similar to Restylane and Juvéderm, produced with hyaluronic acid that is used to restore lost volume wherever it is injected. Tear trough correction gives and restores volume to the undereye, resulting in a fresh, youthful, healthy appearance that offers harmony to the face and tear trough area. Even though treatment tear trough is relatively new, given that fillers like Juvéderm didn’t hit the market until 2006, hyaluronic acid fillers are among the most prevalent scantly cosmetic treatments, according to the 2020 Plastic Surgery Statistics Report, with over 2.6 million patients participating in 2020 alone. While it’s unclear how many of those patients chose tear trough undereye filler, it’s evident that volume replenishing cosmetic procedures are in high demand. Statistics report a surge in interest in these tear trough injections during the last year. The growing relevance of the tear trough area with injections has boosted the demand for minimally invasive treatment to improve attractiveness.

Who’s a good candidate for tear trough filler?
Patients of all ages with developed depressions beneath their eyes (tear trough) make them seem sagging and cast unpleasant shadows known as “dark circles,” giving the impression of fatigue and old age. Eyes tear trough filler may be a safe and effective alternative to surgery for enhancing the under-eyes. To find out whether this treatment is good for you, you’ll need to have a full in-person consultation with a quailed practitioner, like Megan from Injections by Megan.
Each patient tear trough injection session lasts less than an hour and takes place in our Scottsdale Medspa office. Filler in the tear troughs should only be administered by highly skilled, thoroughly educated certified Nurse Injectors. The treatment entails injecting filler into the undereye tear trough area. Typically, only 1ml of filler treatment is required, with 1/2ml or less injected beneath each eye.
Because the filler contains an anesthetic, the treatment is exceptionally well-tolerated. When the needle enters the client’s skin, they normally feel a minor pinch. To fill in the volume shortfall equally, a single blunt cannula or many tiny injections may be administered in the undereye treatment area. You are allowed to leave our Scottsdale facility immediately following the trough filler treatment.
Following a tear trough treatment, no downtime is required. Patients can quickly resume work and other normal activities. The effects are immediate and often persist for six to eighteen months.
In order to see the most gradual change in their skin, eyes and facial looks, some patients choose to have a second tear trough treatment six to nine months after the first one is completed.
After several months, the certified Nurse Injector could suggest a third dermal filler treatment to help achieve the desired results.
What to Avoid Before Tear Trough Treatment?
Avoid consuming ibuprofen, aspirin, vitamin E, or fish oil for a week before filler treatment. To prevent irritation in the eyes, stop using any facial treatments containing retinol or glycolic acid.
Aftercare and Results: Tear Trough Area
Undereye filler has the same straightforward aftercare as other trough filler treatment injectables. For the first 24 hours after your treatment, avoid any physical activity, alcohol, and skincare products in the treated region. Use ice packs and non-sedating oral antihistamines to reduce any swelling that may result from your tear trough correction.

Tear Trough Treatment Vs. Plastic Surgery
Both tear trough filler treatment and plastic surgery are highly recommended anti-aging therapies. Both have tremendous anti-aging effects, but their usage is dependent on your aesthetic goals. Here’s a quick look at both treatments’ benefits. While Tear trough fillers are injections that renew and restore the face’s youthful look.

Face-tightening surgery removes excess skin and repositions deeper tissues. Unlike tear trough fillers, a facelift may tighten loose neck skin. Depending on the patient’s goals, a brow lift and eyelid surgery may be performed along with a facelift.
• A lower facelift to remove jowls.
