26 years old is it too early for under eye injections? (Photos)

Question

I am considering dermal fillers for my under eye/tear trough area. I’ve had dark circles and tear troughs for as long as I can remember. I’ve been able to mask the darkness with makeup but I hate the way my tear trough makes me look tired. Is 26 too early to start injectable fillers? Will fillers be effective in treating this area if I continue to get them for the rest of my life?

Thank you for your questions and pictures.You seem to be an excellent candidate for fillers under your eyes.  Mom or dad likely has similar eyes, usually the case when young patients demonstrate early tear troughs (as opposed to aging).Make sure to choose and experienced plastic surgeon injector who also uses the cannula technique for safety.Kind regards,Dr. Marc DuPere, aesthetic plastic surgeon

Age is not a factor for tear trough inj.   It is costly and I don't use permanent fillers there because results must be perfect and reversible  and tiny irregularities can be very disturbing

Looking at your pictures I think you would b a good candidate for under eye filler. You could consider an HA type filler or PRP injections. This area can be unforgiving because the skin is very thin. Be sure to find a provider who is well-experienced in treating the tear troughs.
