How safe is it to get fillers in the trough? I was told by one doctor that this procedure could obstruct blood flow to the eye and cause blindness. Does the filler last longer in this area than in the nasolabial area?
Answer: Tear Trough Hi @DNE. 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!

Answer: Safety of Filler in Tear Troughs Hi and thank you for your question! The area under the eyes is rich in blood vessels and other sensitive structures and performing injections in that area requires a higher level of expertise and skills. I commonly perform filler injections in most areas specially under the eyes and in the tear troughs with flexible cannula that can helps greatly with reducing the risk of complications. Please make sure to work with a cosmetic doctor with high level of experience in doing injections under the eyes and you should be fine! I hope it helps and good luck!

Answer: Improving Under Eye with Fillers (Belotero, Volbella, Restylane Silk)--add Fraxel, Microneedling/PRP This is a safe procedure. You'll want to see someone meticulous. Keep in mind, a combination approach will give the most improvement. Fillers, lasers, and microneedling/PRP can improve under the eyes. My patients try to get non surgical treatments to avoid surgery. We use PRP and stem cells there often. I suggest consulting with an expert to develop a treatment plan best suited for your short and long term goals. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Under eye filler Filler injections under the eyes is generally quite safe. As with anything, there are rare risks. I use a blunt cannula for injection under the eye, which i feel is safer than sharp needle injections. The idea is that you are less likely to inadvertently inject into a vessel using a blunt cannula. Filler under the eyes can last quite a while, as in up to a year or more. I would definitely only ever have hyaluronic acid injected, ie Restylane, and not other things like Radiesse.

Answer: How safe is it to get fillers in the tear trough ? It’s very safe to get fillers in the tear trough region of the face. The risk that exists is inadvertently injecting fillers into blood vessels that exist in the tear trough area. A well trained cosmetic injector will easily avoid this complication by either using a cannula or will use a needle and take the necessary precautions to avoid intravascular injections. How long a filler will last doesn’t depend on where on the face it was injected but what kind of filler was used.Hope this helps
