In a patient with the right anatomy and good skin, fillers are among the best ways to improve the tear troughs. They work better and are more predictable than fat injections in my opinion.
Is it true that fillers are not for tear troughs?
I have very deep tear troughs that are genetic. I recently went to a dermatologist that informed me that fillers would not help my situation. She said fillers are not meant for the tear trough. Should I see a second opinion? Should I see a plastic surgeon instead of a dermatologist?

A: Fillers Can Be Used for tear troughs
Fillers are a very good means of ameliorating the appearance of tear troughs. My preference, and many others on this site, is Restylane. This is a delicate area, however, and make sure your physician is an board certified dermatologist, plastic surgeon or oculoplastic surgeon.
