Introducing Dermal Fillers for Under Eye Tear Troughs
Revitalize tired eyes with tear trough fillers. This treatment gently restores lost volume beneath the eyes, reducing hollows and dark shadows for a refreshed, well-rested appearance.
What are Tear Trough Fillers?
The tear trough area is the space between the lower eyelid and upper cheek. Undereye bags and hollowing in your tear trough areas can make a person appear tired and aged.
Tear trough fillers address concerns of undereye dark circles by restoring volume to tthe region. The procedure for delivery of tear trough fillers is minimally invasive. Dermal fillers are injected into the tear trough area to deliver much-needed volume, resulting in a more even appearance and a more awake and youthful look.
Dr. Ho is highly experienced when it comes to treating the tear trough region using injectable dermal fillers. Her precision and skill make her an ideal choice for treatment. She most often injects the cheeks in addition to the undereye area to achieve the best rejuvenation results. Dr. Ho is highly sought out by patients in greater Philadelphia and the Main Line for tear trough filler treatment and is known as a regional specialist for this procedure. The tear trough area is a delicate region and should only be treated by experienced injectors who understand facial anatomy well and which patients are best tear trough filler candidates.

Risks of Dermal Fillers Under Eyes
Swelling and bruising are the most common and expected risks associated with tear trough injections. Other risks can include uneven fullness, development of lumps or nodules, discoloration, allergic reactions, and migration of the filler can also occur. It is important to understand these risks before undergoing an injection to make an informed decision.
Am I an Ideal Candidate for Trough Fillers?
Ideal candidates for the dermal filler tear trough procedure are men or women unsatisfied with the appearance of their eyes and have mild to moderate hollowness underneath the lower eyelids. They also have not developed prominent fat pads or skin laxity in the lower eyelids yet. This procedure is also ideal for those who are looking to reduce the tired appearance of the eyes and dark circles that can develop due to aging.
An ideal candidate should be in good physical and mental health, without medical conditions that could increase the risk of complications. Candidates should also be non-smokers who are not taking blood thinning medications. However, if you have any questions as to whether you are a good candidate, Dr. Ho’s experience and expertise in using dermal fillers can help you decide if this procedure is right for you.
Recovery Process after Dermal Filler Tear Trough Procedures
After the procedure, it is common to experience swelling, pinpoint bleeding, and bruising which will gradually resolve over the first week. It is important to avoid massaging, rubbing, or manipulating the treatment area during the first week after surgery. Any discomfort experienced can typically be managed by Tylenol or other over-the-counter pain medications.
Strenuous exercise should be avoided for 24 to 48 hours to help prevent excessive swelling. Patients may return to work at any time after the procedure. Swelling will progressively improve with the majority of being gone by two weeks. At two weeks later, the maximum benefits of the procedure can be enjoyed.

Factors to Consider with Under Eye Filler Cost
The total cost of your tear trough filler treatment depends on several factors. An experienced board-certified facial plastic surgeon and expert injector, like Dr. Tina Ho, will likely charge more than an injector at a medspa. Although more costly, injections performed by more experienced injectors can help avoid unwanted side effects such as uneven filler placement, especially around the eye where the skin is delicate.
Additional factors that affect the total cost of filler treatment include the geographic location of the office. Surgeons in larger cities and located on the East and West coasts will often have higher prices due to a greater demand for services and higher operational costs. The number of syringes needed and the dermal filler product used will also affect the total cost of the procedure. However, during the initial consultation, Dr. Ho will develop a customized plan to achieve all of your goals, and at that time, be able to provide you with the total cost of the treatment.
