The troughs appear deeper when eyelid fat above the trough is bulging more prominently. This can result in tear trough lines, hollows, dark circles, crinkles and tiny bags. There are several approaches to addressing tear troughs. The most common one is to use fillers to replace volume, raise and smooth the area.
Dermal fillers quickly add volume to the under-eye area. Patients can temporarily improve the appearance of tear troughs with a simple in-office visit. Dermal fillers are minimally-invasive and require zero downtime. Moderate tear troughs can be corrected upwards of 12-months or more with soft tissue fillers.
Some people naturally have deep tear troughs beneath their eyes because of their genetics or the natural aging process. These deformities often occur as tissues, such as collagen and elastin, are lost in the area, and the under-eye skin thins. This make the tear trough become more prominent.
A tear trough filler is one such non-surgical treatment. The doctor will inject a dermal filler into the area, which adds volume that creates a fuller look. The skin will appear tighter, and the depth of the trough is lessened, which means less of a shadow under your eyes.
Discolouration can occur where filler is injected under the skin only superficially. This is also known as the “Tyndall effect” and can result in a green/blue discolouration that may become more noticeable in daylight. Some patients describe this as tear trough bruising.
When will I see an improvement after tear trough treatment? You will see an improvement straight away but it will look even better after a few weeks.
The Results Improve Over Time
Because these injections stimulate your body's production of collagen and elastin, the final results of treatment won't be seen for several weeks. Even as the hyaluronic acid is processed by your body, healthy collagen and elastin grow at a more significant rate.
Injectable fillers can temporarily reverse some of these aging changes we described above, including the tear trough. Placing the filler in the tear trough area softens that transition between the lower lid and cheek, restoring a more youthful appearance.
Drink lots of water –
Making sure that you drink around 2 litres (8 glasses) of water a day will ensure that your under- eye area always looks refreshed.
Tear toughs can be genetic and therefore appear at an early age for some people. For most others, they will begin to notice the development of tear trough hollows from their late 20's onwards because of the ageing process where deep fat pads start to deflate.
Nucleofill under eye treatment is not only an alternative to tear trough filler to help under eye volume loss; it also decreases lower eyelid puffiness, fine lines and wrinkles. ?? It involves multiple injections into the skin with a needle or cannula.
Tear trough fillers are made from hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance which is known for its ability to attract water. Because of this, it is not suitable for people who are prone to fluid retention and puffiness under their eyes.
Defining Tear Troughs
They're one of the parts of your face that are most prone to changes in sleep and natural ageing. The scientific term for them is the nasojugal groove. Whether you've noticed them or not, when they are sunken in they cast dark shadows under your eyes making you look tired and older than you are.
The space below the eyes can be nourished with almond oil, which is rich in vitamin E, a vital skin vitamin. Vitamin E oil is also another skin-nourishing option. Both almond oil and vitamin E oil are available for purchase online.
Tear trough fillers can take a few weeks to settle. If after this period you don't like them, they be dissolved by injecting hyaluronidase, which takes less than 24 hours to work. That means if you're ever unhappy with the result, it's quick and easy to go back to your normal self.
Under eye fillers can often look lumpy after the procedure. The lumpy appearance usually continues to improve over the 2-3 weeks after the procedure.
Evaluation of the patient will include assessing skin thickness, elasticity, hollowness, bags present, and placement of the orbital rim. If a patient has bags that significantly fluctuate with factors such as sleep, alcohol, or salt intake they may not be a candidate for under eye filler.
"Tear trough filler, for example, when injected too superficially, can migrate and cause lymphatic obstruction which can be present for years and years after the treatment date," shares Dr. Diamond. "It can cause a chronic and persistent problem that subjects a patient to explore remediation."
Apply an eye cream morning and night
Applying an eye cream morning and night will not only ensure eyes are receiving the nourishment they require but will also help target signs of ageing and fatigue such as puffiness, under eye bags, lines and wrinkles.
Although rare, complications from dermal fillers can be devastating. The most serious complications are vascular. Vascular occlusions can lead to necrosis (tissue death), scarring and, even more seriously, blindness.
Do results look natural? Yes, the tear trough filler treatment produces natural-looking results. Patients will not look dramatically different following the procedure.
They help you look younger
A technician injects hyaluronic acid into the areas underneath your eyes, which adds more volume and reduces any sagging skin under the eyes. What's more, the fillers remove any dark shadows that exist under your eyes, contributing to your younger and fresher-faced look.
