Tear-through filler or tear-through filler

Tear Trough Fillers or Tear Trough Fillers are used to firm the skin under the eyes or to eliminate dark circles. Many patients worry about dark circles, dark puffiness, excess skin under the eyes. This even from a very young age, and this concern increases over time. People are particularly concerned about the dark circles and shadows under the eyes, the hollows under the eye, or if not hollows, the "fat pockets" under the eye.

PRICE

From €400

TREATMENT TIME

30 minutes

Please note! For each indication there is a specific treatment eg: if you have real fat pockets under the eyes, or excess skin under the eyes, this can only be treated surgically with an eyelid correction.

Strengthen the quality of your skin under the eyes, you will be less likely to get wrinkles and dark circles will be remedied by this.

What can tear trough filler or under eye filler be used for?

This treatment is mainly used when one:

  • Has hollows under the eyes (not enough fat volume)
  • dark shadows under the eyes
  • dark circles under the eyes

What tear trough fillers do we use at Sarasin Clinic?

We only use products that give good padding and attract as little moisture as possible! Tear trough fillers are made specifically for this area, which is why you cannot use them in other areas. This is because these fillers are more liquid than our other fillers, so there is little chance of clumping.

Are there other treatment methods that can enhance the result?

Absolutely! A combination of treatments will reinforce each other.

Most of our patients combine tear trough fillers with PRP or Microneedling + RF. This way, we get the subcutaneous skin in top condition and this will also improve the outcome of your tear trough filler.

Frequently asked questions about tear trough filler

Pain at tear troughFillers

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.

What is the process of treatment with tear trough Fillers?

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.

What is the aftercare after treatment with tear trough filler?

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

What can you expect after a tear trough filler 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.

What are the risks associated with tear trough filler treatment?

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

What if I observe assymetry at some point before the 2-week point?

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.

How long does a treatment with tear trough filler last?

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.

How long will the effect of a tear trough filler remain visible?

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

How much tear trough filler do I need?

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.
