Should I consider tear trough filler? (photos)

Hi @krithika_e. You would be a good candidate for tear trough fillers. I recommend seeking treatments from expert injectors who have the skill and experience to precisely inject fillers into treatment areas and avoid risks and complications. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!

There are many ways to treat dark circles, as well as under eye wrinkles and bags. It is important to note however, that the majority of times the cause for discoloration is genetic and due to the viability of the blood vessels below the skin. A combination approach is always needed to get the best results in this area and this includes: topical skin care, laser and/or radiofrequency treatments, and fillers if placed appropriately with cannulas.

In experienced hands, the use of fillers has become almost routine these days for treating tear troughs, dark circles, and bags under the eyes. Treatment usually takes no more than five minutes per under eye and the results are immediate and often engender a Wow! response. My favorite filler for this purpose in my Upper East Side Manhanttan office is Belotero Balance, which has little to no tendency to engender the unwanted bluish Tyndall Effect when injected superficially into the delicate tissues under the eyes, combined with a tiny amount of  Radiesse, a whitish colored filler that can help to  lighten the dark circles when used in this fashion. In my Israel satellite office, where a far greater number of regulatory agency approved fillers and volumizers are available, I prefer Teosyal Redensity II for this purpose combined with the Radiesse. Make sure that you seek out a physician injector with experience and expertise in treating the under eye region and ask to see his/her before and after photos.
