I'm losing volume under my eyes.

Question

What are some low risk solutions to help increase the volume in the tear trough area?

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

You can consider using filler under the eye to help replace the lost volume, revealing a smoother appearance.  Lasers and microneedling can add to the overall effect by improving the texture and quality of the skin beneath the eye.

Hi realr29.  The transition between your lower eyelid and your cheek can be treated multiple ways.  Filling volume in the cheek with Juvederm Voluma or Restylane Lift will provide support to the lower lid, while improving the tear trough area.  Fillers that can be placed directly into the tear trough all include off label applications, driven mostly by their smooth consistency with little tendency to swell (Juvederm volbella, restylane silk, belotero) and platelet rich plasma gel that is prepared from your own blood.  An expert injector will recommend the correct product based upon your anatomy & skin.  Best wishes,

Please see the following for all the options for adding volume in the tear trough area. There are both nonsurgical and surgical options available, each with pros and cons. See an oculoplastic specialist.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

There are some great options to improve this area. Fillers, lasers, microneedling/PRP can all help this area. Belotero is a good filler for under the eye and I recommend using cannulas for injections to reduce complications. See an expert for a formal evaluation. Best, Dr. Emer.

Anna I. Wooten, MD, FACS · Answer

The best course of action is to start with hyaluronic fillers.  Restylane is the recommended and FDA approved filler of choice for this particular area.  Most patients see about an 8 month correction with it.  This is safe and also reversible if you find you don't like the look.  Thanks for your great question.
