Where Exactly is Tear Trough Filler Injected?

sunshine26
When correcting a Tear Trough deformity, where is the actual filler placed? I've read some surgeons inject directly under the eye muscle, some along the bony rim, and others on the uppermost cheek, depending on where the hollowness is in the midface.
