Under-eye filler, or tear trough filler, is a minimally invasive cosmetic injection that addresses hollows or contour deformity at the eyelid cheek junction. The active ingredient, hyaluronic acid, is a formulated gel substance that provides fullness to the under eye and restores volume. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance within the eye and joints and utilizing it in cosmetic practice can significantly improve volume loss and skin laxity.

Would You Benefit from Under Eye Filler?

Unlike surgical procedures such as blepharoplasty, under-eye filler requires no incisions or general anesthesia, making it a convenient option for those with busy lifestyles.

Generally, patients for under-eye filler must meet the following criteria:

• Do not have large under-eye fatty deposits (“eye bags”).
• Do not have significant dark circles.
• Do have sunken or hollowed under eyes.
• Do have realistic expectations.
• Are in good health.
• Have only mild skin laxity.

The following individuals are not good candidates for under-eye fillers.

• History of allergies.
• Chronic under-eye or cheek swelling (festoons).
• History of thyroid eye disease
• Significant skin laxity.
• History of adverse reaction to fillers.
• Large herniated fat pads (“eye bags”).

The Under Eye Filler Process

At Arizona Oculoplastic Specialists, our team of skilled medical professionals begin every cosmetic treatment with a consultation during which we will get an understanding of your concerns and tailor your treatment plan accordingly. The actual procedure is less than 30 minutes long. First, a topical numbing cream is applied. Ice is also applied to the area to help with any discomfort and reduce bruising. Typically, a blunt cannula is used to meticulously place small amounts of the filler in the pre-marked areas. Aftercare instructions will be given.
