For those seeking a more permanent solution, consider:

  • Facial fat Transfer: Transfer your body’s natural fat to the undereye area for a long-lasting, volumizing effect.

While fat grafting provides permanent results, tear trough filler is ideal for patients seeking a quick, minimally invasive treatment.

ALTERNATIVES

Enhance your tear trough filler results with these complementary treatments:

  • Moxi Laser: Brighten and improve the skin’s tone and texture around the eyes.

  • CO2 Laser: Resurface and rejuvenate the delicate undereye skin for a polished look.

  • Chemical Peels: Address pigmentation and discoloration to further brighten the undereye area.

These treatments work synergistically with tear trough filler to maximize brightness and rejuvenation.

COMPLEMENTARY

Tear trough filler provides immediate and transformative results, smoothing hollows, brightening the undereye area, and reducing the appearance of dark circles. Your eyes will look refreshed, rested, and rejuvenated. With proper care and maintenance, the effects can last up to a year, making this treatment an excellent choice for undereye rejuvenation.

RESULTS

Recovery from tear trough filler is quick and easy, with most patients returning to normal activities immediately:

  • First 24-48 Hours: Mild swelling or bruising may occur but typically resolves quickly. Avoid strenuous exercise and excessive heat.

  • 1 Week: The filler settles into place, and the final results become apparent.

  • Maintenance: Results last 6-12 months, depending on the filler used and your body’s metabolism. Regular touch-ups are recommended to maintain your refreshed look.

Our team will provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure the best results.

RECOVERY

Tear trough filler is a quick and minimally invasive procedure performed in our Manhattan office. The session typically takes 15-30 minutes.

Here’s what to expect during the process:

  • Before Treatment: Your provider will assess the undereye area, discuss your goals, and mark the injection sites. A topical numbing cream may be applied for added comfort.

  • During Treatment: Hyaluronic acid filler is carefully injected into the tear troughs using a fine needle or cannula to minimize discomfort and bruising. You may feel slight pressure or a pinching sensation.

  • After Treatment: The area is gently massaged to ensure even distribution, and you’ll be given post-treatment care instructions.

The results are immediate, with minimal swelling or bruising.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Preparing for tear trough filler is straightforward and ensures optimal results. Key steps include:

  • Avoid Blood Thinners: Refrain from taking aspirin, ibuprofen, or supplements like vitamin E for at least 48 hours before your appointment to minimize bruising.

  • Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to promote healthy skin.

  • Clean Skin: Arrive at your appointment with clean, makeup-free skin.

Your provider will guide you through the process and discuss your treatment goals during your consultation.

PLANNING

Tear trough filler may not be suitable for individuals who:

  • Have significant skin laxity or puffiness under the eyes (which may be better addressed with surgery or other treatments).

  • Are pregnant or breastfeeding.

  • Have active skin infections or inflammation near the injection site.

  • Expect permanent results (fillers typically last 6-12 months).

During your consultation, Dr. Schwarcz or Nurse Heather Rypien will assess your concerns and recommend the best treatment plan.

NOT CANDIDATES

You may be an excellent candidate for tear trough filler if you:

  • Have hollow or sunken areas under your eyes that create a tired appearance.

  • Want to reduce the appearance of dark circles caused by volume loss.

  • Are seeking a non-surgical solution with instant results.

  • Are in good overall health and have realistic expectations.

Tear trough filler is ideal for those looking to refresh their undereye area without surgery.

CANDIDATES

Tear trough filler involves the precise injection of hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers into the hollows under the eyes to restore lost volume and reduce the appearance of dark circles and wrinkles. Hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the skin, attracts moisture and promotes hydration, creating a smoother, more youthful look.

Tear trough filler is ideal for treating:

Hollow or sunken areas under the eyes
Dark circles caused by volume loss
Tired or aged appearance
Fine lines in the undereye area

The procedure is quick, minimally invasive, and delivers immediate results with little to no downtime.

THE PROCEDURE

Tear trough filler, also known as undereye filler or lower eyelid filler, is a non-surgical treatment designed to smooth hollows and reduce shadows under the eyes. This quick and effective procedure restores volume to the delicate undereye area, instantly brightening your appearance and diminishing signs of fatigue. Performed by Dr. Robert Schwarcz, a double board certified oculofacial plastic surgeon in NYC, and Nurse Heather Rypien, tear trough filler is available in our Manhattan office. Pair this treatment with Moxi Laser, CO2 Laser, or chemical peels for added skin brightening, or explore fat grafting as a long-term alternative. If you’re searching for tear trough filler in NYC, trust our skilled providers for natural, refreshed results.
