Tear trough filler in Southport

What is tear trough filler?

Tear trough filler places a small amount of soft hyaluronic acid filler in the hollow between the lower eyelid and the cheek. This can reduce the shadowed, tired look that hollows create.

It works best for hollowness rather than puffy bags or very thin skin, so a careful assessment comes first. If we think another treatment would suit you better, such as an eye area skin booster, we'll tell you.

Who it suits

• You have hollows or shadows under your eyes
• You often look tired even when you're not
• You have good skin quality under the eyes
• You don't have significant under-eye puffiness

What to expect

1. An assessment to check whether tear trough filler suits you
2. Numbing cream is applied
3. A soft filler is placed carefully, often with a cannula
4. Results are visible straight away
5. Any swelling or bruising usually settles within a week

Aftercare

• Avoid rubbing or pressing under the eyes for 48 hours
• Sleep with your head slightly raised for a couple of nights to reduce swelling
• Avoid makeup in the area for 24 hours
• Avoid alcohol, exercise and saunas for 48 hours
• Contact us straight away if you notice pain, vision changes or skin colour changes
