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?
Answer: 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 photos. Best of luck!

CONTACT NOW Answer: Tear Trough Hi @Dog101. You are correct those are tear troughs and can be treated with a dermal filler like Restylane or Belotero to help lessen the severity of the trough. I recommend seeking treatments from expert injectors who have the skill and experience to precisely inject fillers into treatment areas and avoid risks and complications. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!

Answer: 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.

Answer: 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.

Answer: HA fillers to Tear Troughs
Hyaluronic acid fillers (there are several that can suffice) can be used to subtlely improve the tear trough area in younger patients.
