In-Depth
What You Need to Know
The tear trough is the groove that runs from the inner corner of the eye along the orbital rim. As aging causes fat pad descent and bone resorption, this area becomes hollow, creating shadows that look like dark circles regardless of sleep quality. Hyaluronic acid fillers (Restylane, Belotero) can restore volume to this delicate area. The procedure requires advanced injector skill due to the thin skin and proximity to blood vessels. Techniques include needle or cannula injection (cannula preferred for reduced bruising risk). Results are immediate and last 12-18 months. Common side effects include swelling (more pronounced in this area, lasting up to 2 weeks), bruising, and the Tyndall effect (bluish discoloration if filler is placed too superficially). Not all patients are good candidates — excess skin or fat herniation may require surgical blepharoplasty instead. Cost ranges from $600-$1,200 per treatment.
