Tear Trough Filler
Tear trough filler softens hollows under the eyes that can create shadows and a tired look. A small amount of hyaluronic acid filler is placed carefully to smooth the transition between the lower lid and the cheek.

Overview
A refreshed look under the eyes
As we age, the under-eye area can lose volume, leaving a groove that casts a shadow and makes us look tired even when we’re not.
Filler in the tear trough adds support to this delicate area. Not everyone is suitable: puffy eyelids, fluid retention or very thin skin can mean another treatment is a better choice, and we’ll tell you honestly at consultation. Our under-eye treatments are an alternative for fine lines and crêpey skin.
What it can help with
- Hollows and grooves under the eyes
- Shadowing that makes you look tired
- A smoother transition from lower lid to cheek

What to expect
Consultation
We talk through your goals, check your medical history and assess the area, then agree a plan and the amount of filler.
Preparation
The skin is cleansed and numbing cream is applied if needed. Most fillers also contain a local anaesthetic.
Treatment
Hyaluronic acid filler is placed with a fine needle or cannula, in small amounts, checking the result as we go.
Review
We check how the area has settled and whether any small adjustment is needed, usually at around 2 to 4 weeks.
Before you book

- You are pregnant or breastfeeding
- You have an active skin infection, cold sore or acne in the area
- You take blood-thinning medication or bruise easily
- You have had filler or another injectable in the area before
- You have an autoimmune condition or a history of severe allergies
Aftercare
After your treatment
- Avoid make-up on the area for 24 hours
- Avoid alcohol and strenuous exercise for 24 hours
- Avoid pressing or massaging the area for the first week
- Avoid saunas, sunbeds, strong sun and extreme cold for 2 weeks
- Cold packs can help with swelling, which usually settles within a week

Possible side effects and risks
Common and usually short-lived: swelling, bruising, tenderness, redness and pinprick marks. The area may feel firm or slightly uneven for a few weeks while the filler settles.
Less common but serious: infection, an allergic reaction, or filler blocking a blood vessel (vascular occlusion), which needs treatment straight away. Your practitioner will go through these with you at consultation.
Contact us immediately, or seek urgent medical help, if you notice severe or worsening pain, skin that turns pale, blotchy, dusky or blue, any change in your vision, or signs of infection such as heat, spreading redness or fever.
FAQs
Your questions answered
Does it hurt?
Most fillers contain a local anaesthetic and we can use numbing cream, so most people feel only mild pressure or stinging.
Is the filler reversible?
Hyaluronic acid filler can be dissolved with an enzyme called hyaluronidase if needed. Your practitioner will explain when this might be used.
Will it get rid of dark circles?
Filler can reduce shadowing caused by hollows. Dark circles caused by pigment or thin skin may need a different treatment, which we can discuss at consultation.
