What is Tear Trough Filler?


Under-eye issues such as sunken areas or dark circles can be challenging to address. Many individuals may turn to remedies such as creams or serums that might provide some improvement, but they may not be enough to solve the problem. Tear trough filler is a minimally invasive aesthetic treatment that can be used to refresh and smooth the under-eye area from beneath the surface by delicately injecting dermal filler into the area. Typically made with hyaluronic acid, these fillers work by adding volume to the area and softening the appearance of dark circles.

Tear Trough Filler Candidates


Typically, our tear trough filler patients are looking to treat depressions, tear trough deformity, or dark circles under the eyes, and this treatment is best for those with mild to moderate concerns. Those with very thin skin or excess laxity may not be good candidates for this treatment.

Consultation and Preparation for Tear Trough Filler


At your consultation for tear trough filler Chicago injection specialists at Michael Horn Plastic Surgery & Med Spa will discuss your aesthetic goals and examine your eye area to determine if this is an ideal treatment for you. Then, we will create a customized treatment plan that might include filler or other recommended cosmetic procedures to help you achieve your goals. There is little to no preparation involved with tear trough filler, but patients may need to avoid certain medications and supplements, which we will outline during the consultation.

The Tear Trough Filler Procedure


The tear trough filler procedure is typically performed in under 30 minutes and involves minimal discomfort. A numbing cream or local anesthetic may be applied to the area for maximum comfort during the treatment. Your master injector will use a very fine needle to carefully administer the filler in the tear troughs, ensuring even distribution and natural results.
