Under-Eye Hollows, Dark Circles & Tired Eyes: How Tear Trough Filler Can Help

The procedure uses a soft hyaluronic acid dermal filler, carefully placed into the groove between the lower eyelid and upper cheek, to smooth the under eye area and reduce the appearance of dark circles – without surgery, general anaesthesia or extended downtime.

Why London Patients Trust London Lip Clinic for Tear Trough Filler
Tear trough treatment is one of the most technically demanding cosmetic treatment areas in facial aesthetics. The under-eye area has a complex anatomy risk, involving major blood vessels, thin skin and delicate tissues – which is why injectable treatments should only be performed by qualified medical professionals due to risks. At London Lip Clinic, every treatment is delivered to the highest medical standard.
- Medically-led Harley Street clinic with extensive experience in facial aesthetics and tear trough filler treatment
- Tear trough filler offered as a core treatment, not an afterthought – performed regularly with consistent, natural outcomes
- Use of reputable hyaluronic acid fillers including Restylane and Juvéderm, selected specifically for the under-eye area
- Focus on patient safety: a good practitioner will prioritize patient safety and natural-looking outcomes at every stage
- CQC-compliant clinical environment with full emergency protocols, including hyaluronidase kept on site
All consultations and injections are personally overseen by founder Rupesh Shah . Our clinic operates on a discreet, appointment-only basis.
Why Choose Tear Trough Filler at London Lip Clinic
What sets London Lip Clinic apart for under-eye filler in central London is the combination of medical rigour, aesthetic restraint and genuinely personalised care.
- Personalised assessment: Every patient receives a detailed facial analysis evaluating tear trough anatomy, skin quality, cheek and mid-face volume, temple hollowing and overall facial proportions. Proper assessment is essential to determine appropriate treatment for under-eye concerns.
- Natural aesthetic philosophy: Our aim is to soften hollows and refresh the eye area – not to over-fill or alter your facial character. We want you to look well rested, not “done.”
- Safety-focused technique: We prefer a cannula to minimise risks during the procedure, choose products with low hygroscopicity for this delicate zone, and use conservative initial dosing with the option to build gradually.
- Integrated treatments: Where appropriate, we combine or sequence tear trough filler with cheek contour filler, skin boosters such as Profhilo, polynucleotides, Sunekos or Rejuran Eyes, or anti-wrinkle injections when the clinical picture calls for it.
The goal is always a younger, brighter eye area that still looks entirely like you.
What Is Tear Trough Filler?
The tear trough is the concave groove that runs from the inner corner of the eye downward toward the cheek. With age, volume loss in the underlying bone and fat, combined with skin thinning and weakening ligaments, deepens this groove – creating visible hollows, shadows and a tired appearance even when you feel perfectly rested.
Tear trough filler uses a soft, specially selected hyaluronic acid dermal filler to replace that lost volume and smooth the transition between the lower eyelids and cheek. Hyaluronic acid is the main ingredient in tear trough fillers – it is a natural substance already found in the body that attracts and retains moisture.
London Lip Clinic uses light, flexible HA fillers designed for delicate tissues. Teoxane Redensity 2 is the only filler licensed for tear troughs in Europe, formulated with approximately 70% cross-linked and 30% non-cross-linked HA at a concentration of ~15 mg/mL, with low water absorption and good spreadability. Other suitable products include lighter Restylane formulations and Juvéderm variants, depending on your anatomy.
The treatment is temporary and reversible. Hyaluronic acid fillers are naturally broken down over time by the body’s own metabolic processes, and can also be dissolved using hyaluronidase if needed. Tear trough fillers typically last between one to two years, though hyaluronic acid fillers can last from 9 to 18 months depending on the product, your metabolism, skin thickness and lifestyle.
Who Is (and Isn’t) a Good Candidate for Tear Trough Filler?
Careful patient selection is the single most important step in achieving safe, attractive under-eye results. Not every person with dark circles or tired-looking eyes is a good candidate for filler – and knowing when to suggest an alternative is a sign of expertise, not limitation.
Ideal Candidates for Tear Trough Filler
The best candidates are typically adults from their mid-20s to mid-50s who are bothered by hollowing, visible grooves or a sharp transition from the lower eyelid to the cheek. Tear trough fillers reduce the appearance of dark circles most effectively when the darkness is primarily caused by shadowing from a hollow rather than by strong pigmentation or prominent blood vessel networks.
During consultation, a simple “light test” – shining a light from above or at an angle – helps determine whether filler will make a meaningful difference. Generally, good skin quality with reasonable thickness, no major lower eyelid laxity, and no heavy eye bags lead to the best outcomes. Results can vary based on individual anatomy and filler type, so we set realistic expectations from the outset.
When Tear Trough Filler May Not Be Suitable
In some cases, tear trough filler is not the most suitable solution. Less suitable candidates include those with:
- Significant fluid retention or “puffy” eye bags where fat prolapse is the primary concern
- Very thin, crepey skin that increases the risk of visible irregularities or Tyndall effect
- Severe under-eye pigmentation (melanin or hemosiderin-related darkness)
- Uncontrolled medical conditions, pregnancy or breastfeeding
- Active infection risk – notably, infection risk increases if dental work occurs two weeks before treatment
Treatments for tear trough hollows depend on causes like volume loss and skin thinning, and in some cases alternative or adjunctive approaches are more appropriate. Options we offer at London Lip Clinic include under-eye skin boosters such as Rejuran Eyes and Sunekos, chemical peels, topical pigmentation protocols, or referral for a surgical opinion if lower blepharoplasty is more appropriate. Consultations should evaluate if fillers or other treatments are appropriate for the patient – and we will always say no to filler if it is not in your best interest.
Benefits of Tear Trough Filler
Results are designed to be subtle yet impactful, focusing on freshness rather than an obvious cosmetic treatment look.
- Softens hollows and reduces shadows for a more rested, less tired appearance – many patients say they finally look the way they feel
- Blends the lid–cheek junction for smoother mid-face contours, eliminating that sharp drop-off that makes the face look gaunt
- Makes dark circles appear lighter when they are primarily shadow-based, by restoring the volume that casts the shadow
- Improves makeup application – less creasing in the hollow, smoother concealer finish, reduced need for heavy corrector
- Long-lasting yet reversible results with minimal downtime compared with surgery; tear trough fillers last between one and two years, and hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved if complications arise
Our Tear Trough Filler Treatments at London Lip Clinic
London Lip Clinic offers tear trough filler as a standalone treatment and as part of broader facial rejuvenation plans, alongside other non-surgical options such as lip fillers and Botox. Here is how we commonly approach under-eye rejuvenation on Harley Street.
Under-Eye (Tear Trough) Filler – 1ml
Most first-time tear trough treatments use up to 1ml of hyaluronic acid filler across both under-eyes, and often less. This eye filler treatment aims to fill the groove, soften the lid–cheek junction and reduce visible shadow lines. We take a conservative approach – small injections placed precisely at the correct depth – and a second, small top-up may be considered after several weeks for fine-tuning if needed.
Tear Trough Filler with Cheek Contour & Mid-Face Support
Many patients with under-eye hollows also have volume loss in the cheeks and mid-face. When the cheek “drops,” the relative hollow beneath the eye deepens. Combining tear trough filler with cheek contour or mid-face filler creates a more harmonious, lifted appearance and better long-term stability. London Lip Clinic offers packages such as “Cheek Contour – 2ml” and “Full Face Rejuvenation,” customised to include under-eye treatment where appropriate.
Under-Eye Rejuvenation with Skin Boosters & Polynucleotides
For patients with fine lines, crepey texture or early ageing without deep hollows, treatments like Rejuran Eyes (polynucleotides), Sunekos or Restylane Skinboosters offer a different approach. Polynucleotides stimulate natural collagen and improve skin elasticity under the eyes, supporting collagen production and hydration rather than adding bulk volume. Common under-eye treatments focus on volumization and improving skin quality – and we sometimes recommend skin boosters alone or in combination with a very light filler treatment, depending on what your skin needs.
What to Expect: Tear Trough Filler Step by Step
Understanding the process from first contact to aftercare helps you feel confident and prepared. Here is exactly what happens at London Lip Clinic.
Step 1: Consultation & Assessment on Harley Street
You attend London Lip Clinic at 8 Harley Street for a private, in depth face-to-face consultation with a medical practitioner. During this appointment we take a full medical history, photograph your face and carefully examine the tear trough area, cheeks, skin quality and overall facial proportions.
We discuss all available options – tear trough filler, skin boosters, topical protocols or surgical referral – along with realistic outcomes, potential risks, costs and post treatment care during your consultation and assessment. Not all patients are treated on the same day; complex cases may require a cooling-off period or a staged treatment plan.
Step 2: The Tear Trough Filler Procedure
Once you proceed, the skin is cleansed and a topical anaesthetic applied if required. The practitioner marks the entry points and selects the injection approach – typically a cannula is used to minimize risks during the procedure, though a fine needle may be employed in specific anatomical situations. The filler itself contains lidocaine, which reduces discomfort as it is injected.
Sensations during treatment include mild pressure and slight stinging. The procedure takes about five to ten minutes for the injections themselves, with total appointment time around 20–30 minutes once numbed. The patient sits up several times during the treatment so the injector can assess symmetry and natural expression in real time.
Step 3: Immediate Results, Recovery & Aftercare
Tear trough fillers can provide immediate visible improvement – results are visible immediately after the treatment, though minor mild swelling and possible bruising can take up to 1–2 weeks to fully settle. The full effect of fillers is noticeable after two weeks.
Common short-term effects include swelling, bruising and tenderness, all of which are normal and typically resolve within several days. Most patients return to desk work the same or next day. Applying a cold compress gently can help with swelling and discomfort in the first 24 hours.
Key aftercare guidance:
- Avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol and high heat (saunas, steam rooms) for 24–48 hours
- Sleep slightly elevated for the first night or two
- Avoid pressing or massaging the treated area unless specifically instructed
- Contact us immediately if you notice unusual pain, colour changes or visual disturbance
A follow-up appointment is available for review, minor tweaks and comparison photos once the area has settled.
Safety, Risks & How We Minimise Complications
While tear trough fillers are popular and generally well tolerated, this is an advanced area of aesthetic treatments with important safety considerations that we take seriously.
- Common, mild side effects: Temporary redness, mild swelling and bruising occur in a significant proportion of patients (studies report bruising in approximately 20–40% of cases). These tend to resolve within days, and we provide clear post treatment care guidance including the use of a cold compress.
- Rarer complications: The Tyndall effect (a bluish hue if filler sits too superficially), puffiness or overfilling, asymmetry or lumps can occur. These can often be improved by massage, time, or dissolving the filler with hyaluronidase. Granulomas can develop months to years after filler injection, though this is uncommon. Allergic reactions may include redness, swelling, or difficulty breathing – all of which require prompt medical attention.
- Very rare but serious risks: Complications from tear trough fillers can include lumps and vascular occlusion. Vascular occlusion can cause severe complications, including tissue damage, and in extremely rare cases, visual disturbance. Our practitioners are trained to recognise and treat these immediately, with hyaluronidase and emergency protocols always available on site.
- Steps we take to minimise risk: In-depth medical history review, careful anatomical mapping, conservative dosing, sterile technique, extended appointment times, use of cannula where appropriate, and only using high-quality CE-marked hyaluronic acid fillers from reputable manufacturers.
We provide clear emergency contact instructions after every treatment and encourage patients to get in touch promptly with any concerns.
How Long Do Tear Trough Fillers Last?
Longevity varies by person and product, but tear trough fillers generally last longer than fillers placed in more mobile areas such as the lips or around the mouth.
Tear trough fillers typically last between one to two years. Results from tear trough fillers can last from one to two years, with some patients noticing improvement beyond this depending on various factors including metabolism, lifestyle, skin thickness and the specific filler used. The EYELIGHT study of Teoxane Redensity II showed visible improvement maintained at 12 months with patient satisfaction above 80%.
Subtle, periodic maintenance sessions – often requiring less product than the first treatment – help maintain a consistent result. Regular top-ups can help maintain the results over time. If you choose not to maintain, the area will gradually return toward its original appearance as filler breaks down. And because we use hyaluronic acid fillers, the result is fully reversible if you wish to dissolve it sooner.
Pricing & Consultation for Tear Trough Filler in London
Tear trough filler is a medical procedure, and pricing reflects product quality, Harley Street clinical standards and the expertise of your highly experienced practitioner.
- Under Eye (Tear Trough) – 1ml: Please contact London Lip Clinic for our current fee, which is competitive with established Harley Street practices
- Additional treatments such as cheek contour filler, skin boosters or polynucleotides are priced separately and agreed before any treatment begins
- Consultation availability and any associated fee will be confirmed at booking – ask whether the consultation fee is redeemable against treatment
Across London in 2026, a single session of tear trough filler at established clinics typically ranges from £400 to £950 depending on injector seniority, product and clinic. Be cautious of very low pricing – risks include use of lower-grade fillers, less experienced practitioners and minimal consultation or follow-up.

Under-Eye Filler vs Other Under-Eye Treatments
Understanding when filler is the most effective treatment – and when another solution is more appropriate – helps you make a confident, informed decision.
Tear Trough Filler vs Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery)
Tear trough filler is a non-surgical, reversible, lower-downtime option for volume loss and mild contour issues. Lower blepharoplasty is a surgical option for addressing significant under-eye bags, excess skin or muscle laxity – it involves longer recovery and higher cost but provides more permanent structural change. Filler cannot remove fat or excess skin. Autologous fat transfer provides long-lasting structural restoration but is more invasive. If prominent bags or significant skin laxity are your primary concern, London Lip Clinic can advise whether a surgical referral would achieve a better outcome.
Tear Trough Filler vs Skin Boosters & Polynucleotides
Skin boosters such as Profhilo, Sunekos, Rejuran Eyes and Restylane Skinboosters improve skin quality, hydration and fine lines rather than adding bulk volume. They are particularly suitable for crepey, fine-lined under-eye skin without a strong hollow, and can also serve as a pre-treatment to optimise the area before filler. Energy-based devices can improve skin laxity but do not fill significant hollows. We may recommend these alone or alongside a very light filler – our treatment comparison guide explains the difference in more detail.
Tear Trough Filler vs Topical Skincare & Lifestyle Changes
Medical-grade eye creams, tretinoin regimes, pigmentation treatments and daily SPF all play a supporting role in under-eye appearance. Daily SPF helps prevent further skin ageing around the under-eye area. Laser resurfacing can improve skin texture and reduce the appearance of fine lines. Topical treatments can support skin improvements but do not correct deeper structural issues such as volume loss.
Lifestyle contributors to dark circles – lack of sleep, dehydration, allergies and smoking – are worth addressing alongside any procedure. Managing these factors can improve and maintain results long-term.

Frequently Asked Questions About Tear Trough Filler
These are the most common concerns we hear from patients before they book at London Lip Clinic.
How much does tear trough filler cost at London Lip Clinic?
Pricing is typically per 1ml syringe or per treatment area. The exact fee depends on the amount of product required and whether additional areas such as cheeks are treated at the same session, and is subject to our clinic terms and conditions. We encourage booking a consultation for a personalised quote with no obligation to proceed.
Is tear trough filler painful?
Most patients describe some pressure or mild stinging but find the procedure well tolerated. We apply topical numbing cream before treatment, and the fillers work with built-in lidocaine to further reduce discomfort during the injection. Any tenderness at the surface typically resolves within a day or two.
How quickly will I see results and how long is the downtime?
Instant results are visible immediately, but minor swelling and possible bruising can take up to 1–2 weeks to fully settle. The full effect is noticeable after two weeks. Most patients can work the same or next day, but we recommend planning treatment at least two weeks before any big events.
Can tear trough filler be dissolved if I don’t like it?
Yes. Because we use hyaluronic acid fillers, the result can be reversed using an enzyme called hyaluronidase if medically indicated or if the outcome is not what you desired. Dissolving is itself a medical procedure with its own considerations and will be discussed thoroughly before proceeding.
How safe is tear trough filler and who will perform my treatment?
Treatment is performed only by medically qualified practitioners with specific experience in under-eye injection. An experienced practitioner with the right expertise will adapt technique to your anatomy and manage any concerns that arise. We maintain full emergency preparedness, use only licensed CE-marked products and encourage all patients to disclose their complete medical history at consultation. Are tear trough fillers safe? In the right hands, with the right product and the right patient, they are a well-established, effective treatment – but choosing your practitioner carefully is essential.
How often will I need top-ups?
Many patients return every 12–24 months for maintenance, though timing varies individually. The clinic will suggest a personalised review schedule based on your age, skin quality, lifestyle and desired result. Maintenance sessions tend to require less volume than the initial treatment.

What Conditions Can Be Treated With Tear Trough Fillers?
TROUGH FILLER TREATMENT
Appearance of Dark circles and bags under the eye are effectively treated with tear trough fillers. With age, the tear trough area of the face becomes more pronounced. This change in the way we look leaves us tired appearance and looking exhausted. The under-eye hollowing that happens as part of the ageing process typically exposes bags under the eyes making the problem worse. Under-eye filler ( dermal filler ) provides the ideal solution by correcting facial contouring without surgery. These days, there is no need to go under the knife in order to look younger.
The areas between your lower eyelids and the upper parts of your cheeks are known as the tear troughs. This area is often the first to start showing the signs of ageing in the face. Eye bags appear here first. Some people find that this area starts to become hollow during their adolescent years. With age, the area becomes even more hollow and darker and deeper in appearance. This area is completely revitalised with tear trough fillers.
What causes dark circles, eye bags, hollowed and sunken eyes?
TROUGH FILLER LONDON
Dark eye bags, sunken eyes and hollows are often associated with detrimental lifestyle traits ( including late nights ), from rising stress levels and poor nutrition to physical exhaustion and genetics also plays a big role.
How Does Under-Eye Filler Work?
FILLER
With age, the Hyaluronic Acid in the skin becomes depleted, and the effect of this is seen in dark circles and eye bags under the eyes. It’s important to note that even young people can suffer with this problem due to genetics or the shape of the face. Under-eye dermal filler work by putting the Hyaluronic Acid back into the places where it’s needed. The filler is able to pull water which gives a plumping effect to the area that was treated, and the results are completely natural looking.
Hyaluronic Acid is known to plump the treated tear trough area instantly, making the skin glow. This sugar is found as naturally occurring in the skin. It retains water to help keep the skin plump and hydrated. Hyaluronic Acid in the body is able to hold a thousand times its weight in water. It not only retains water but also stops the moisture from our bodies from simply evaporating.
Injectable Hyaluronic Acid ( dermal filler ) treatments JUVÉDERM and Teoxane Redensity 2 are used to target dark circles and eye bags under the eyes. These dermal filler treatments are able to plump the sunken areas, smooth fine lines, and decrease the shadows. They add volume to the skin’s dermal layer with just a few pricks of a needle. Then the soft dermal fillers dissolves slowly over about 12 months when you will need to have re-treatment. Majority of the time one has to have the upper cheeks injected as well because over time we suffer from volume loss in the area. This results in loss of volume just under the trough.
The Benefits of Treatment with Tear Trough Fillers
TEAR TROUGH BENEFITS
Tear trough enhancement have a number of benefits. The main benefit is looking younger and less tired. Results with this treatment are fast and effective. The tear trough procedure is relatively comfortable when a numbing agent is used beforehand. In the majority of people, this treatment is completely safe. The Hyaluronic Acid dermal filler used in the procedure occurs naturally in the body. With treatment for tear troughs, the results last for a long time.
Tear trough filler are of most benefit when there are dark circles or eye bags under the eyes. With tear trough fillers, the results are long-lasting; however, the treatment won’t provide a permanent solution. The reason for this is that the filler will eventually break down. To maintain the results, you are advised to come back to the clinic for repeat fillers to get the full benefits from this treatment.
Typically, clients will visit us here at the London Lip Clinic once every 1to 2 years for tear trough filler treatment. However, it’s well worth noting that some individuals manage to retain their fillers for much longer than this. The results will vary between individuals as there are certain factors which make the fillers break down more quickly. It’s a good idea to make an appointment for a check-up every 12 months so that we can monitor your progress as the years go by. This ensures that you reap the full benefits of the treatment.
A number of factors can cause the dermal filler to break down more quickly. These factors are to do with your lifestyle and habits. Factors which cause tear trough fillers to break down more quickly include; smoking, little or no exercise, and a poor diet. Therefore, for the best results, it’s essential to stay fit and healthy by looking after your body in the best way possible. To get the full benefits of tear trough fillers you need to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
As well as treating tear troughs, filler can also be used to treat hollowing in the upper eyelids. This can occur as part of the ageing process, or it can happen after having surgery. This application for fillers is highly specialised, and gives the most beautiful results.
Pre-Appointment Care for Tear Trough Fillers
Before your treatment with tear trough filler you’ll have a free in depth consultation and treatment overview here at the London Lip Clinic in Harley Street. This gives us the opportunity to review your medical history and conduct an examination of the area causing concern. We will discuss your objectives and any benefits and risks involved. This will enable you to make an informed decision about your treatment. If you decide to go ahead with the treatment after the thorough consultation, you can then make an appointment to have tear trough fillers administered.
It’s recommended to avoid drinking alcohol for 24 hours before your appointment. Aspirin should be avoided for a week before the treatment. You’ll also need to avoid taking any anti inflammatories like Ibuprofen for 48 hours before your visit.
As do not have dermal filler at the same time as laser hair removal.
The Process of Tear Trough Filler Treatment
Tear trough filler treatment offers a non-surgical, minimally invasive procedure for dark circles and eye bags under the eyes. The actual process of having the treatment performed is extremely straightforward. The treatment time is minimal. Firstly, the area is fully cleansed and numbed with a topical anaesthetic. Next, the treatment area is injected using a cannula with the Hyaluronic Acid gel like Teoxane Redensity 2. The filler acts in boosting natural Collagen production and replaces lost volume around the eyes. As well as all this, Hyaluronic Acid injectable gel causes the deep hydration that is so needed with ageing skin. It plumps the treated area as it softens and rejuvenates, creating a younger appearance.
Treatment to tear trough takes about half an hour to complete. However, many people opt to have other treatments with their filler at the same time. Extremely popular choices include the mid face lift and the brow lift. If you decide to have other treatments with filler, we can discuss your options with your at your free consultation here at the London Lip Clinic. This way, we can tailor your treatment plan to suit your individual needs.
There are two approaches to administering the tear trough injections in peri orbital area. Some aesthetic doctors will use a tiny fine needle and others prefer to work with a cannula. We generally prefer the cannula method as it’s a safer technique with minimal discomfort and gives you the best possible results. A cannula works as a dull straw and the needle is able to pass through the blood vessels. The benefit of using the cannula is that it only takes one poke to administer the treatment. This is ideal when you want to keep swelling and bruising to a minimum.
The most important thing about getting tear trough dermal fillers is to go to an experienced doctor or trained medical professional like Rupesh. You need treatment from someone who understands the anatomy of the areas surrounding your eyes. When treatment is complete, the results are instantly visible. Over the next 14 days, the best possible results can be seen.
Tear Trough Recovery & Aftercare
TEAR TROUGH LONDON
With this procedure, recovery time is minimal and the results are immediately visible. You’ll be able to resume your usual activities straight after your treatment with under-eye tear trough filler. Most people find that they are able to go straight back to work after having the procedure. For the first couple of days post-treatment there may be some very slight bruising or swelling in the treated area.
In order to keep any swelling to a minimum, consider applying a cold compress to your eyes at 3 hour intervals. This will gently soothe the tear trough eye area of your face. On the first night after your treatment with under-eye filler , apply some Arnica cream to the area before you go to bed. This will help to reduce any of the mild bruising while you sleep.
You will need to avoid touching the treated area for 6 hours after your treatment. Once this time has elapsed, you can wash with soap and water. Avoid rubbing the area, instead, dab it gently as you cleanse it. It’s recommended to avoid using makeup and skincare products for 4 hours after being treated with tear trough fillers.
You are also advised to avoid working out for at least five days and consuming alcohol for the first 2 days after treatment. You’ll need to avoid sources of extreme heat and stay out of the sun or the extreme cold for 14 days.
Side-Effects of Tear Trough Filler Treatment
The important thing to consider with tear trough filler treatment is that the eye area is very delicate. There are many blood vessels in this part of the face. This means that this area is prone to bruising which is the most common side-effect associated with undergoing the procedure. There is also likely to be some swelling in the area once the treatment is complete. These symptoms will clear up over the next 7 days.
When tear trough aren’t injected as they should be, this can cause the skin to take on a light blue colouring. This is the reason you need to see an expert to make sure that the injections are properly applied. If you have this experience, the good news is that it can be successfully treated.
An injection of hyaluronidase in the problem area will break down the wrongly injected filler, returning the skin around the eyes to its normal colouring. Another issue with wrongly injected fillers is the development of nodules. These can also be treated successfully with the hyaluronidase enzyme. If you want to get rid of your under-eye filler, we can simply remove them using hyaluronidase enzyme.
A very rare and serious complication of having tear trough filler injected happens when the filler is injected into a blood vessel. This causes the blood vessel to become blocked and may cause blindness. For this reason, you need to see an expert in order to avoid complications such as this occurring.
Common Patient Concerns
