What is a Tear Trough?

A tear trough is a lack of volume and support around the lower eyelid, forming a groove that extends diagonally from the tear duct area down into the cheek or around the eye socket. This indentation casts a shadow that can create the appearance of dark circles and tiredness. For many, tear trough hollows occur naturally from a young age, while others develop them over time as facial volume shifts and support diminishes.

The shadow caused by a tear trough is one of the most common reasons clients seek non-surgical intervention. Even if you feel energised, the appearance of tired eyes can lead to comments or questions about your energy levels. Tear trough filler gently restores volume to the area, softening the shadows and allowing light to bounce off the skin, creating a brighter, refreshed appearance.

How Does Tear Trough Filler Work?

By injecting a fine hyaluronic acid filler into the tear trough, the hollow is gently plumped and supported. This smooths the area under the eye, softens shadows, and restores a more balanced and refreshed appearance. For optimal results, Lucy takes a holistic approach, often addressing volume loss in other areas of the mid-face. Restoring subtle volume to the cheeks, for example, can provide vertical support to the lower eyelid, creating a more cohesive and harmonious result.

Because the skin under the eyes is incredibly fine and delicate, tear trough filler treatments must be performed conservatively and with precision. Lucy often divides the treatment into two sessions, spaced one month apart, to ensure optimal results. A cannula is commonly used to minimise the risk of bruising, and polynucleotides may be considered for clients prone to water retention.

How Much Filler is Used for Tear Troughs?

The amount of filler used for tear troughs depends entirely on your individual anatomy and needs. Lucy adopts a conservative approach, often starting with a small amount of filler—typically 0.5ml to 1ml per session. This ensures that the results are natural and refined, with the option to build up gradually over two sessions if required.

What to Expect from Tear Trough Filler in Marylebone

At Lucy Banks Aesthetic Clinic, every treatment is bespoke and carefully tailored to your needs. Tear trough filler is a subtle and transformative procedure that restores balance and light to your face while respecting the delicate nature of the area.

Assessment

Not everyone is suitable for tear trough filler, which is why the assessment process is so critical. Those not suited to filler for the tear troughs may be good candidates for Polynucleotides for the eye area as an alternative. Lucy examines the depth of the tear trough hollow and considers other anatomical factors that may be contributing to the appearance of shadows. This thorough assessment ensures that the treatment plan is tailored to your unique needs and provides the best possible outcome.

Injecting

Once the assessment and plan are complete, the area is numbed and sterilised. A conservative amount of filler is then injected using a cannula and/or fine needle, depending on your individual anatomy. The filler is carefully sculpted and moulded to achieve a smooth, natural finish. A review appointment is recommended four weeks after the initial treatment to evaluate the results and make any necessary adjustments.

Aftercare

Following the treatment, you may experience mild swelling, redness, or bruising, which typically resolves within a few days, if you experience it at all. Avoiding makeup and touching the area for 12-24 hours is essential to minimise irritation or infection. Lucy will provide detailed aftercare instructions to help ensure the best results.

Tear Trough Results and Maintenance

Tear trough filler results are visible almost immediately, with further improvement as swelling subsides. Full results are typically seen within 2-4 weeks, especially if the treatment is completed over two sessions. Results from tear trough filler typically last up to 12 months, and regular maintenance appointments are recommended to sustain the refreshed look.
