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?
Answer: Injections could work, but they aren't for everyone... It’s not unusual for patients with tear trough deformities to request plastic surgical consultation. When this situation arises, hyaluronic acid fillers are very effective for treating this problem. Under these circumstances fillers can minimize tear troughs and ultimately improve peri orbital aesthetics.It’s extremely important to individualize the treatment of tear troughs. In some patients the lower eyelid skin is extremely thin and for this reason injectable fillers aren’t always indicated. In this situation injections may be accompanied by nodules and bluish discoloration.It’s important to realize that lower eyelid filler injections can be very effective for treating tear trough deformities but aren’t for everyone with this condition. For this reason it’s important that patients with tear trough deformities be evaluated by a board certified plastic surgeon. This surgeon should be able to formulate an appropriate treatment plan for this problem.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Tear trough fillers Hi- thanks for your question! Fillers can be an excellent way to manage under-eye hollowness. I am especially fond of Restylane for this purpose. Make sure you chose an injector that is an expert in the anatomy of this area to ensure a safe and effective treatment.

Answer: Fillers not for tear trough If the primary cause of your under eye dark circles is skin hyperpigmentation, then you will not be a suitable candidate for tear trough dermal fillers. Most hollow tear troughs are mainly due to volume loss and suitable for treatment with a dermal filler, so I would suggest you seek an opinion from an oculoplastic surgeon who performs a large volume of tear trough dermal filler treatments.

Answer: Tear Trough Injections Tear trough injections are great and really soften the dark circles associated with this problem. There are several products that are easily instilled in this area. Second Opinion?? Absolutely!

Answer: Not true This question was posted several years ago. Today, there is a Health Canada approved filler for the tear troughs: Teosyal Redensity II. It is designed for the area to fill out the undereye hollows. I’ve performed the procedure many, many times with great results.
