Are These Tear Troughs and What Can I Get Done? (photo)
Recently in my teen years Ive started to examime my face more and noticed these thin lines under my eyes that run from the corner of the eye (near the nose) to the area around my cheekbone. I thought these were tear troughs but when I look at other photos, these lines dont go right below the eyes in a moon shape. I dont know what they are, and I know I shouldnt be worrying about this because im a teen. Well I would just like to be informed, are there any options?

Tear trough implants might have been a fine answer 15 years ago.
Now the state of the art for addressing a mid face issue like your is with hyaluronic acid fillers. The services can last well over a year and can very comfortably placed during an office visit. The product is placed by injection and the most popular products contain local anesthetic. This makes placement even more comfortable. If there is an issue with service the product can be modified with an injection.

Tear troughs are genetic
Different people age in different ways from an early way. Some patients will look tired and wrinkled under their eyes, others in their nasolabial folds. Much of these differences are genetic. If these lines bother you then you can get injected with fillers like Restylane and Juvederm.
You should consult a trained board certified dermatologist for a consultation.

Restylane and tear troughs
Yes, those are "tear troughs" and can be treated with a dermal filler to help lessen the severity of the trough. Consulting with a reputable, well-trained, and experienced provider is your best first step.

HA fillers can be used
Tear troughs can sometimes be genetic or apparent at an early age. HA fillers can be injected into the cheeks/tear troughs to smooth any pronounced hollowing. Conservative and gradual addition of fillers can help to enhance this area with minimal risk if done by a trained professional.

What is a tear trough
Tear troughs don't have to be a complete half moon shape, and often, they start out more in the shape you have now, and become more and more defined over the years. Hyaluronic acid fillers would be the procedure I would recommend, like Restylane, done by a board-certified injector. Additionally, make sure you wear sunscreen, every day, and start making this a habit!

Tear troughs are the hollow below the eyelid "bags" and above the cheek prominence
These are not usually an issue until the 30's or 40's. The actual anatomic cause is still being debated even among experts. However, in a young person, it's often due to flat cheekbones.
There are a number of treatments. Fillers are easiest and have little to no downtime. Sometimes implants to augment the bones can help in a young person with flat bones. In older patients, surgery such as blepharoplasty with fat respositioning into the tear trough is often the answer.

Tear troughs in young people
Yes, there are tear troughs. Many young people have them, which is congenital in nature. The best treatment would be filler injection, namely either Restylane or Belatero. See an oculoplastic or facial plastic surgeon.

Tear troughs in adolescence
Yes, those are tear troughs and they will appear worse if you do not get enough sleep, smoke, eat excessively salty foods, etc. They are nothing to worry about and are likely congenital in origin. When you get older, if they disturb you, they can be treated with Restylane but this requires regular followup injections. I am sure that you have other things to do with your money besides tear trough implants (like a car or college) and would not consider this a high priority based on your...

Tear Troughs in Young Patient
Hi Dog. Yes, your tear troughs are what the arrows in the photo are pointing to. Restylane is a great product for this area and can help to smooth those lines out. We have treated young patients before as sometimes these lines are present in young patients based on their inherited facial structure. Good luck.

You Have Tear-Troughs
Yes, what you have are tear-troughs.
In your case, I would recommend tear-trough implants. This is essentially a permanent solution to your problem. Your tear-troughs are ideally shaped and oriented for correction with the implant. The surgery is done through the inside of your eyelid so there will be no visible scars. With an experienced surgeon, complications are rare. The procedure is reversible in the event that you don't like the result...
