Suffering from Tear Trough Deformity?

A tear trough deformity is a hollowing in the region between the lower eyelid and cheek, resulting in a nasojugal fold. More colloquially, this can be described as a pronounced crease that extends downward from the lower eye.

For some patients, the transition from the lower lid to the cheek was seamless in youth, forming a gentle and continuous curve. However, as facial tissues thin and sag with age, a tear trough deformity may emerge.

For other patients, the tear trough deformity may simply be a quirk of genetics. It’s important to remember that regardless of the cause, if this deformity is making you feel less confident, you have options at your disposal.

Learn the Causes of Pronounced Under-Eye Bags and Hollowing

Again, tear trough deformities are not exclusive to a particular age group; they can affect anyone at any time.

Factors contributing to this condition include:

Genetics
Diet
Stress
Sun exposure
Various lifestyle elements

Younger individuals seeking advice on perceived "eye bags" may, in fact, be dealing with a "Negative Vector Orbit."

This condition arises from an under-formed cheekbone beneath the eye, creating a prominent eye appearance with protruding eyeballs and the normal fat of the lower eyelid casting shadows, resulting in dark circles.

Correcting Tear Troughs: You Have Options

To address tear trough deformities effectively, Changes Plastic Surgery & Spa employs a variety of advanced methods.

Restylane^® Hyaluronic Acid Filler

Our preferred under-eye filler, Restylane, harnesses the power of hyaluronic acid—a substance naturally present in the body.
Administered in a single office visit, Restylane is injected into tear trough hollows, lifting the indented area and making a noticeable yet natural-looking improvement. Results can last up to one year.

Fat Grafting

For a longer-lasting correction of under-eye hollowing and bags, fat grafting is employed.
Through micro-liposuction, fat is extracted from areas such as the stomach or thighs, purified, and injected into the tear trough area, restoring the gentle curve.

Tear Trough Implant

In cases of severe hollowing or a negative vector orbit, the Tear Trough Implant offers a reliable and permanent solution.
Surgically placed beneath the lower eyelid and secured to the cheekbone, this implant provides a structural lift, reducing hollows and dark circles.
