Tear trough is another name for deep creases below the lower eyelids.
With aging, or due to genetic makeup, the tear trough area can appear hollow, or skin can become slack--resutling in the more familiarly refered to "eye bags". Common cosmetic treatments to address such conditions are blepharoplasty (eyelid lift) surgery, or the use of injectable fillers.
