Age 22 - How to get rid of tear trough deformity? (photo)

Tear trough deformities, characterized by hollows under the eyes, can be a common concern even at a young age. Here are a few options to consider for addressing this issue:

Dermal Fillers: One of the most popular and effective treatments for tear trough deformities is the use of hyaluronic acid fillers. These fillers can add volume to the under-eye area, reducing the appearance of hollows and creating a smoother transition between the lower eyelid and cheek.

Topical Treatments: Eye creams containing ingredients like retinol, peptides, and hyaluronic acid can help improve skin texture and hydration, though they may not address volume loss as effectively as fillers.

Microneedling: This procedure can stimulate collagen production in the under-eye area, improving skin texture and firmness over time. It might be used in conjunction with other treatments for enhanced results.

Laser Therapy: Non-ablative lasers can improve skin texture and stimulate collagen production, potentially reducing the appearance of tear troughs.

Fat Transfer: For a longer-lasting solution, some individuals opt for fat transfer, where fat is harvested from another area of the body and injected into the tear troughs. This provides a natural and enduring volume boost.

It's essential to consult with a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon who can evaluate your specific concerns and recommend the best treatment plan tailored to your needs.

Best wishes on your journey to achieving a refreshed and rejuvenated look!

Hello, This is Dr. Hong from Fresh Clinic, Seoul (S. Korea).
This is a very common issue that many people face. It can be caused by anatomical factors or other reasons. However, in Korea, it can be easily treated with a minimally invasive procedure called under-eye fat repositioning. The incision is made on the inner side of the lower eyelid, using a transconjunctival approach, which means there are no visible scars or stitches to remove.
While the results are not permanent, as aging may cause the problem to return, this procedure offers significantly longer-lasting effects compared to fillers or other treatments.
If necessary, a nano-fat graft can be done a few months later once the final results of the fat repositioning are visible.
I hope this explanation helps.
Best regards,Dr. Hong & Team

At least from the photos provided, there appears to be volume deficits in the border regions between the under-eyes and the upper cheeks, which would explain the pronounced hollowing seen there. If this is indeed so, then the appropriate choice of a volumizing HA filler when injected properly in the hands of an expert, board certified cosmetic dermatology filler expert can both smooth the transition region and significantly diminish the tear troughs & hollows seen there. while, at the same time, contouring a more ideal feminine Ogee Curve and oval, heart-shaped face. The results of this treatment are typically immediate and dramatic, and the treatment usually engenders little to no significant post-treatment downtime. Hope this helps and best of luck.

You can consider filler to help improve the contour of the under eye. Some improvement can be seen immediately with treatment and the result will last about a year. For a more permanent solution you can consider fat grafting. See a board certified plastic surgeon near you to learn more.

The best way to get rid of a chair trough once and for all is with the use of your own fat. Fat grafting provides natural and permanent results as long as it’s done by Plastic surgeon with a lot of experience in fat grafting techniques. I generally tell patients to stay away from injecting the tear trough with hyaluronic acid fillers as most of the time it leads to results that do not make the patients happy even though it may look great at first. I hope this helps and good luck from Leonard Grossman MD organic Plastic Surgery .
