Traangootfiller of tear-through filler

There is a small amount of anesthetic in our tear trough Fillers, so in principle, additional anesthetic is not necessary. If one really wishes, a numbing cream can be applied. Please note that numbing ointment can cause swelling under the eyes, making it difficult for the doctor to determine how much filler he wishes to inject! If a cannula is used, a local anesthetic (small prick) may be used before the cannula is inserted into the skin. Cold Packs are used afterward to reduce pain and swelling and the risk of bruising.

Before the doctor will begin, everything is discussed in detail. It is important that the doctor knows what your wishes are, and that the doctor can suggest the right treatment and price. The area is cleaned with alcohol and chlorhexide to help prevent infection. The doctor will use a needle to inject the tear trough filler. Then pressure with gauze will be applied. If a cannula is used, a small injection of local anesthetic may be injected into the skin. Then a mini small hole is made in the skin where the cannula is inserted. You will not see anything of this afterwards. All our tear trough filler treatments take place in our private clinic in Sint-Martens-Latem near Ghent.

There may be redness and swelling, and red dots or bruising where the injection or cannula is inserted. If a cannula is used, bruising is less common. Instructions for post-treatment care No makeup in the first 4 hours Also, no strenuous exercise that day Avoid acidic products on the skin for 24 hours No spas no saunas, no hot yoga for 1 week after treatment

The effect of the tear trough filler will be immediate. Most of the swelling from the tear trough filler will be gone 2-3 days after the procedure. Even 2-4 weeks after the procedure, there may still be some minor swelling. If there is bruising, it may last up to 7-8 days.

Bruising: occurs in a significant number of cases Swelling: occurs in the injection area. This lasts for about 48 hours Tyndall Effect: blue appearance of the filler under the skin Lumps: our build-up technique reduces the incidence of lumps Asymmetry: sometimes one side is treated better than the other, this is usually because the patient is asymmetrical to begin with, be sure to contact us if you still have asymmetry 2 weeks after your treatment with tear trough Fillers Infection: is a very rare complication, but always a possibility when the needle goes into the skin Necrosis: (blood vessel is blocked, disrupting the blood supply to the skin) is very rare. In our practice we always have Hyalase available (hyalase dissolves Fillers immediately) Need for further treatment: several syringes of the product may be needed to obtain the patient's desired result More info on this page

Traangles are often asymmetrical to begin with, and your doctor will do his best to work on this. In the early stages after treatment, asymmetry will sometimes occur because one side is more swollen or bruised. Usually it will correct itself by the time of the checkup appointment. If it does not, it can be examined at the repeat appointment. There is no point in coming in early to treat asymmetry, as swelling often occurs and thus the final result will not be visible for at least 2 weeks. Treating asymmetry too early can lead to further asymmetry. Further treatment may be necessary to improve the asymmetry.

The injection itself only takes a maximum of 10 min, but before we perform the treatment, everything is discussed with you in detail. You will still spend an average of 45 min with us in the Clinic.

This depends greatly on how much the doctor injected. Expect the filler to last about 8 months, after that it is best that you definitely have the filler placed annually. The filler consists of hyaluronic acid and this is slowly broken down by your own body. Read more about the duration of treatment here

This depends both on the patient's anatomy and the desired result. The doctor will assess the amount needed to obtain the desired result. Building up is certainly important here.
