What's the best way to fill a deep tear trough caused by a tight ligament?

As a physician, I would suggest that the optimal approach to treat a deep tear trough caused by a tight ligament can vary depending on individual circumstances.In your case, if the filler is being displaced to the sides of the ligament groove, one option could be to place the filler more superficially, as suggested by the other doctor. However, this should be done with caution due to the risk of the filler becoming visible under the thin skin of the tear trough area.Another approach could be to use a filler with a different consistency that is specifically designed for use in the tear trough region. These fillers are generally smoother and less likely to clump or migrate, potentially leading to a more satisfactory result.Alternatively, surgical options such as lower eyelid blepharoplasty or a midface lift might be worth considering. These procedures can provide a more lasting correction to the tear trough deformity.It's vital to consult with a certified and experienced professional who can assess your individual situation and recommend the most appropriate treatment plan. Always remember that each patient is unique, and what works best for one person may not be ideal for another.I hope this information is helpful.

Tear troughs are not caused by any ligaments in the surrounding area. Tear troughs, and the hollowness that is frequently seen in the lower eyelid and upper cheek are is usually a hereditary condition acquired from the father’s side of the family. The best way to treat the tear trough is by means of fat grafting. Fillers will usually create what’s called a Tindle effect and a baggie formation. Graphing on the other hand, one done by an expert fat, grafting specialist produces natural and permanent results. After having been performing fat grafting for 30 years, we’ve never had a patient who was dissatisfied with the results of such a procedure.
