Is Tear Trough Filler Right for You?
Tear trough filler is best suited to patients whose main concern is under-eye hollowing rather than prominent eye bags.
During your consultation, our specialists assess your eyelid anatomy, skin quality and facial proportions to determine whether filler is appropriate. In some cases, treatment of the upper cheeks or an alternative procedure may achieve a better result.
Who Should Avoid Tear Trough Fillers?
Patients with significant lower eyelid bags may not be suitable candidates, as excessive filler can increase the risk of swelling and uneven contours.
Tear trough filler may also be unsuitable for people with malar oedema or a tendency towards facial swelling. Other individual contraindications will be assessed during consultation.
Our specialists can recommend alternative treatments where appropriate, including options for managing malar oedema.
Is Tear Trough Filler Safe?
The tear trough is the most difficult area to fill. As the tissues are so thin, they are very unforgiving, and if not done properly, there is a risk of swelling and irregularity. At The Ezra Clinic, we have a deep understanding of how to perform filler safely in this area, using evidence-based techniques.
