Is it possible to have tear trough filler with very thin and pale under eye skin/area?

holiday81
I am 37 and over the past few months my under eye area has become very unsightly and old looking. I'm very fair and the skin is almost transparent with veins visible underneath. Skin is papery and thin and it looks very grey underneath. I would like to have tear trough filler but have read that it's not suitable for some patients as their skin won't hold the filler. Is this true? Is there a risk it won't work or that it will make me look worse? Thank you!
