As we age, the skin under our the eyes may begin to sag and darken, resulting in a tired look. These changes occur due to the relaxing or hollowing of connective tissue in the area. Tear trough cosmetic fillers like Restylane® treat both dark circles and sagging skin, helping you look as youthful as you feel. Discover what makes tear trough fillers an effective treatment for this common eye issue.

Instant Results

Tear trough treatments plump under-eye skin using hyaluronic acid fillers. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally-occurring substance in the skin that can be used to fill hollowed skin to make it look firmer and younger. Patients usually need only one treatment to improve the tear trough area, but some patients do better with multiple “staged” treatments to achieve their desired look. Results are instant and may improve over the next few days to create a revitalized appearance.

These filler treatments are sometimes used in conjunction with the Madonna Lift, a laser procedure that tightens loose skin around the eyes. 

cosmetic fillers Honolulu HINo Surgery or Recovery Time

As with other cosmetic fillers, tear trough treatments do not require surgery or lengthy recovery periods. It is considered a “lunchtime procedure” that can easily be performed during the day without disrupting your normal schedule. However, it is best to avoid strenuous activity in the first 24 hours after the procedure. Side effects are mild and may include swelling, slight bruising and redness at the injection sites.

Long-Lasting Results

Since the under-eye area does not move as much as other parts of the face, such as smile lines and lips, tear trough cosmetic fillers usually last about one year. At that time, additional filler may be needed to maintain the smooth youthful look under the eyes. If you want to schedule additional treatments, ask Dr. Tantisira to develop the safest, most effective plan for you.
