Answer: Tear trough injections Hi there and thanks for your question. Fat and HA fillers are both great for under the eye (tear trough area). Fillers only last about 8-12 months depending on what filler you use. Fat is permanent but only about 50-60% of the fat injected to the area is retained while the other 40-50% will absorb. The fat can be taken from any part of the body and is purified before being injected into the face. I recommend an in-person consultation with an experienced plastic surgeon. Best of luck!

Answer: Improving Under Eye with Fillers (Belotero, Volbella, Restylane Silk), Fraxel, Microneedling/PRP, Fat A combination approach will give the most improvement. Fillers, lasers, and microneedling/PRP can improve under the eyes. My patients try to get non surgical treatments to avoid surgery. We use PRP and stem cells there often. Fat can also be used to rejuvenate the area. Fat transfer technique is important for successful transfer. I recommend water-assisted harvesting with prp for best outcomes. I suggest consulting with an expert to develop a treatment plan best suited for your short and long term goals. Best, Dr. Emer
