What are Tear Troughs?
The tear trough refers to the under-eye hollowing that deepens with age, causing the area under the eye to appear sunken and tired.
Large eyebags may also accentuate and worsen the appearance of the tear trough.
Why Tear Trough Fillers?
Injecting fillers into the under-eye area help to “fill” the hollowing and replace volume loss from the aging process.
Certain fillers like Teosyal RD2 contain additional antioxidants that further help to lighten dark eye circles and rejuvenate the eye area simultaneously.
Results are immediate and by addressing the sunken appearance, the eye area will look refreshed and less tired.
Correcting the tear trough with fillers may also have the added benefit of masking and improving the appearance of eyebags.
Benefits
- Filling of under eye sunken appearance
- Improvement of dark eye circles
- Eye bag “reduction” by masking its appearance
- Look more refreshed and less tired
How are Tear Trough Fillers done?
Dr Edwin will select an appropriate soft filler specially meant for the under eyes for a natural refreshed look without the formation of lumps.
Using the blunt cannula method, there is only 1 entry point per cheek (away from the eye) to minimise downtime, discomfort, swelling or bruising.
The tear trough filler will be precisely injected in layers to fill up the undereye hollows/tear troughs. Careful placement will avoid the formation of lumps.
Treatment duration is between 15 to 30 minutes depending on the severity of the tear trough.
For deep tear troughs, more than 1 ml of filler may be needed.
Choice of Fillers
Dr Edwin prefers to use the Teosyal Redensity (RD) 2 for the treatment of tear troughs because it is developed specifically for the tear trough area.
Teosyal Redensity (RD) 2 is infused with amino acids, antioxidants, minerals, and vitamins, so it continues to rejuvenate the skin around the eye area, rejuvenating and refreshing the eye area.
Side effects
Downtime and discomfort are minimal.
By using a blunt cannula, injury to the area around the eye is extremely rare and unlikely.
There may be slight swelling or bruising after the treatment. However, these are temporary and will improve quickly after applying the anti-bruising recovery cream.
