What would you recommend for my tear troughs? (Photo)

Question

Hello! I am 23 and have had these tear troughs under my eyes for my whole life (genetic on my dads side) and was wondering what kind of and how much filler doctors would recommend? This would be my first experience with any filler so I’m pretty nervous but it’s been my biggest insecurity since forever, thanks so much!!

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Fillers like Belotero, Volbella, and Restylane Silk are good for improving under the eyes, but keep in mind that a combination approach will give the most improvement. My patients try to get non-surgical treatments to avoid surgery, so we use fillers, lasers, microneedling/PRP and stem cells. I suggest consulting with an expert to develop a treatment plan best suited for you. Best, Dr. Emer​​​​

From the limited photo it appears you may benefit from under eye filler.  This can add volume and improve facial contours.  I've included a video I hope you find helpful.  See an experienced injector near you to learn more.

Hi @Grace189. It would be difficult to determine how much tear trough filler you would need virtually. Typically, half a syringe (0.5 cc) to a full syringe ( 1 cc) is appropriate. It is best to under correct than over correct the tear trough area. I have my patients return 2 weeks post injection to see how the filler is settling and for adjustments to be made if necessary. I recommend going to a licensed practitioner with experience while treating this area.

Thank you for your question and photo. Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers are an excellent option for treating hollowing and discoloration under the eyes while making them appear more refreshed and awake. By administering the ideal amount of filler around the tear trough, the skin will be lifted to create a smooth, supple appearance. 
Restylane or Belotero are often used to treat this area, though the precise formula and dosage that is right for you should be determined by the performing injector. In my office, we use a micro-cannula to inject this area, which minimizes bruising and swelling and ensures the smoothest outcome. I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified injector who can discuss your concerns and answer any questions you may have.

The picture is limited in view however- a combination of check and UNDEREYE filler will be your best options.   The cheek filler will volumize your midface and the UNDEREYE filler will sit nicely over the cheek filler to give you a refreshed appearance.
