Hi, I'm 22 and have had noticeable tear troughs since I was 18, at least. I was wondering if there's anything I can do to diminish them without jumping to fillers or surgery... drinking more water, retinol cream, etc? I have two pictures taken at different days and in different lightings to show that they're 'permanent' and not just a passing thing. Thanks!

Answer: Tear troughs You are rather young for such deep tear troughs, which indicates a genetic predisposition to this issue, which normally occurs in patients in the 40s and onward. An in-person evaluation would need to take place, as your skin appears rather thin and pale, which isn’t necessarily the most conducive to an injectable solution. For you and every other patient reading this, please be very mindful to seek out extremely experienced, licensed, and ethical injectors. When done properly and on qualified patients, injectables to the tear-trough area are miraculous, but if done improperly or on unqualified patients, the results can be nothing short of disaster!

Answer: Tear troughs/under eye darkening - should I get fillers, or can anything be done? After viewing your photo, is does look like filler would be the best option for you and the quest way to correct the under eye area. Getting filler will make this issue less apparent. This condition can be hereditary and due to life style. Getting more rest and/or using a Venus Legacy Treatment will help minimize but no get ride of the darkening.

Answer: Fillers For deep depressions, fillers are a good treatment option. Creams and serums are unpredictable. With fillers you can inject it directly into the problem area. I use Restylane 0.5cc to the tear troughs with a blunt cannula. The cannulas lessen the trauma to the area and make this injections safer. Fillers are not a permanent fix, but may last around 4-6 months.
