What Is a Tear Trough Filler?
The tear trough is the lower area under the eye, just before the cheek. Dark circles can appear in this area for a number of reasons, including ageing, allergies, and even as a result of a sleepless night. Consequently, a tear trough filler can ensure that people can’t tell a story from looking solely at the areas around your eyes.
With your eyes being the focal point of your face, you will naturally want them to be as healthy and rejuvenated as possible so that you look your best. Thankfully, tear trough fillers are making dark circles under the eyes quickly become a thing of the past. As a result, this treatment can be hugely transformational to the way someone looks, brightening the “under-eye” area. Moreover, the treatment is immensely popular and can produce incredible results.
Our recommended fillers are Teosyal, a range of injectable dermal fillers made of hyaluronic acid designed to treat wrinkles, give volume to the face and also improve skin quality, Juvederm® Ultra, Stylage, Sinclair and MaiLi range of innovative monophasic cross-linked injectable dermal fillers that contain hyaluronic acid and antioxidants.

How Do Tear Trough Fillers Work?
The filler injects hyaluronic acid into the tear trough under your eye, adding volume while also helping to reduce the darkness. When injected into the skin, the tear trough filler smooths out any lines and wrinkles, thereby instantly adding volume and shape where required. As a result, the results can be deemed to be fantastic, helping to restore youth, health, and color back under your eyes and onto your face.
What To Expect From Tear Trough Fillers?
After the anesthesia has taken effect for 15 minutes, the treatment becomes relatively painless. The filler is injected into the skin in a series of small bursts using a fine needle. Consequently, for 3-7 days after the treatment, you may notice bruising and lumps beginning to appear in the treated area. However, these side effects typically last only a few days and can easily be covered up with makeup if needed.
Before and After
Are There Any Risks with Tear Trough Fillers?
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance within the body, which means that forming an adverse reaction to the filler is extremely rare. However, as with any invasive or non-invasive treatment, there are always risks, and tear trough fillers are no exception. Specifically, due to the nature of tear trough fillers being injections, the most common side effect is bleeding of the skin once the needle has been inserted. Additionally, there is the possibility of swelling or bruising, but these side effects are all temporary and typically resolve within a few days.
However, there are some risks, which although are uncommon, should be considered prior to treatment. These include:
- Swelling and bruising
- Asymmetry under the eyes
- Headaches and migraines
- Skin staining
- Puffiness due to over-correction
- Hyper-pigmentation post-inflammation
- Blindness (this is a rare side effect)

Are Tear Trough Fillers Suitable For Everyone?
Unfortunately, tear trough fillers are not suitable for everyone, particularly for those who have a known allergy to the product or are experiencing an infection in the area where the injection is to be administered. Therefore, the Doctor will carefully assess your suitability for this treatment during a consultation to ensure it is the right option for you.
