I was having a tear trough filler with hyaluronic filler and my plastic surgeon said that any dermal filler modifies the skin tissue in a bad way. It would cause scar tissue and therefore you can only have tear trough fillers three times a lifetime because otherwise you look worse than before. Is that true? I always thought dermal fillers increase collagen in a good way.

Answer: Tear trough filler Hyaluronic acid fillers do not cause scarring. Filler injections can be repeated as many times as you want without worry.

Answer: Tear Troughs What you have, allegedly, been told is incorrect. I should add that tear trough-correction is frequently more than simple volumization of the tear trough itself - the treating physician needs to understand why the depression has evolved. On the one hand, you must be wary of over-correction (or even 100% correction) with hygroscopic fillers, and on the other extreme, surgical excision of the fat pads under the eyes may not be what is needed at that stage. In my opinion, a combination of Restylane Lyft (formerly known as Restylane Perlane) and Belotero Balance (formerly known as Esthélis) are good for this area. I would absolutely 'NOT' use any of Allergan's Vycross fillers (esp. Volbella) around the eyes. To conclude, there is no limit to the number of episodes of treatment of tear troughs with hyaluronate-based fillers, but I counsel you to go to a doctor who has experience in this area.
