Hi I am 32 years , I tear trough filler about a year ago (0.5 each side ) I still feel the filler is there though it is not smoothly filled as it’s been a year , however provided that how complicated these get later as I have read negative reviews I’m wondering should I go back and have a touch up again ? (0.5 each again as my doctor suggested) I cannot do prf due to downtime as I work everyday & it swells and prp does not give enough result , please advice
Answer: Consider this with your injector I would go deep with a cannula using a low g’ dermal filler up to mid cheek groove but i really avoid that tear trough nasojugal groove as you have the angular artery there that is high risk area to inject and create vascular complications…i believe the mid cheek groove where you have “malar bag area” is where should focus on for 2nd injection. Just don’t get so close to medial canthus. Not directly tear trough area…

Answer: Under eye filler It is fine to get another treatment of under eye filler even if there is some filler still present. Be sure to see an expert injector for your treatment. I've included a video I hope you find helpful.

Answer: Undereye Filler Hello! My name is Jessica, I am a physician assistant, and one of the providers at Aesthetic Skin in Winnetka and Chicago. This is a great question. At 32, having had tear trough filler a year ago, it's understandable that you might be concerned about the long-term effects and the potential need for a touch-up. It’s not uncommon for fillers to remain for an extended period, though they can become uneven or less smooth over time. If the filler is still present but not providing the desired aesthetic effect, a touch-up could help restore a more even appearance. However, given the complexities and potential risks associated with tear trough treatments, including migration or lumps, it's crucial to follow up with your provider in order to assess whether a touch-up is appropriate or if alternative solutions might be better suited to address your concerns. I hope this helps and best of luck!

Answer: Tear trough fillers You are absolutely correct in your observation that the fillers are still there. We used to think that hyaluronic acid fillers dissolve away after 6 months, but we now know that HA fillers can last for decades. The reason we thought they dissolve was because when we inject areas like the lips, the effect wears off after 6 months or even less. What is happening is that the fillers just migrate. Over the years they tend to accumulate in areas that you don't want them to. The tear troughs are are very small confined space, so there is nowhere for the fillers to go and bad results can last for years or even permanently unless you get them dissolved with hyaluraonidase. You are lucky that you had a decent outcome with your first injection. Doing it again is pressing your luck. You can risk swelling that does not go away, bluish discoloration that can look like a permanent bruise and lumpiness. I appreciate your concern about PRP and PRF but if it is done correctly you can have the treatment with less down time than fillers. We now have the AutoCorre technique which uses a gel made with Plasma and PRP to give you instant results that last. The results will be very natural because the procedure stimulates your own collagen to build up the area. And you wont have the risk of dermal fillers.
