Fillers can effectively treat the tear trough, but need experienced injector
Certain fillers, like hyaluronic acid (Restylane, Juvederm), can be used very effectively to correct under eye hollowness--or the tear trough. I would caution you to find a physician who is experienced with injecting fillers in this region. There is little room for error in this location because the thin eyelid skin won't hide any lumpiness and the bruising can be much more obvious than in other parts of the face. Also, if the product is too close to the surface, a bluish tint...

Tear trough filler
Any filler has side effecvts of swelling, bruising and lumpiness. The tear trough has more of this if fillers are injected under the skin and above the muscle. There is less of these effects when the filler is injected under the muscle. This takes experience to fill this area so make sure you see a doctor who does a lot of this.

Treating the tear trough
Treating the tear trough region is a very delicate area. It is best treated by one of the smaller particle hyaluronic acid fillers and gently placed at the right level and evenly distributed or else you may see lumps.

Tear trough injection needs great expertise
Treatment of the tear trough is usually done by injecting hyaluronic acid. It requires great expertise and cannot be injected by anyone. Injecting the wrong filler might cause bumps and lumps and injecting it superficially might cause a bluish tinge, the Tyndall effect. Thankfully, if HAs are injected, any correction can be performed with Hylase, which simply dissolves the filler.

Generally a very safe treatment in the right hands.
Dear Boston
Under eye filling to address the undereye hollows is considered an advanced technique. This means that the nurse down the street is probably not a good choice for having this procedure. Similarly if your dermatologist tells you that they are not comfortable injecting this area, you need to respect this. You might look for an oculoplastic surgeon in your area with a reputation for doing this treatment.
