Can dermal fillers improve the appearance of tear troughs caused by bone loss?

Question

Can dermal fillers improve the appearance of tear troughs caused by bone loss around the eye area? If so, which specifical filler do you recommend and why?

Jonathan Kulbersh, MD · Answer

Hello, and thank you for your question. Yes, dermal fillers can improve the appearance of tear troughs. By injecting small amounts of filler around the tear trough, the skin will become plump and supple, lifting the skin and smoothing out the visible groove in the skin. Dermal fillers such as Restylane and Juvederm can dramatically improve the appearance of deep tear troughs. These fillers are made of hyaluronic acid, a substance that is naturally produced in the human body as a building block for collagen and healthy skin tissue. When injected into the treatment area, hyaluronic acid provides volume and lift to the skin.

For more information, I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with a reputable, experienced injector. Your provider can do a proper evaluation, customize the best treatment plan for you, and ensure the best possible results.

Dermal fillers, specifically hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers like Juvederm, can be used to add volume to the tear troughs. Cheek filler injections with HA-based fillers can also improve the appearance of undereye hollows, so be sure to see an experienced provider who can determine the correct treatment plan for your cosmetic concerns. Hope this helps!

Hyaluronic Acid filler such as Juvederm Volbella is now approved for treatment of tear troughs known as Infraorbital Hollows (IOH). In the appropriate cases where the skin of the under eye is not too loose/crepey or has too much dark pigment, using filler can rejuvenate the tear troughs amazingly in the hands of an experienced injector

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

Dermal fillers are often used to replace lost volume in tear troughs.  HA fillers are a great choice because of the control and flexibility they provide.  They are also reversible.  See an expert injector near you to learn more.

Hyaluronic acid (HA) filler is a treatment option for tear troughs or under eye hollows. The HA filler can add volume and make the hollowness less apparent.

Hi there,

Have a consultation with an Expert Injector or Plastic Surgeon but the short answer is absolutely.  But filler needs to be injected properly under the eye if not it can cause ongoing swelling.
