'Tear Trough' refers to the area under the eyes which can have a sunken appearance or the presence of underbags. This appearance is due to the natural ageing process which involves thinning of skin and fat and loss of bone structure around the eye.
Tear troughs are treated by injecting a low density dermal filler called Juvederm Volbella into the under-eye area. This will improve the 'tired look' and rejuvenate the area resulting in fresh looking eyes.

This treatment normally takes between 30-40 minutes.

Juvederm dermal fillers tend to last for around 9-12 months . Juvederm is a premium quality product and is one of the longest lasting fillers on the market.
Injections are normally well tolerated. We normally apply a local anaesthetic numbing cream to the area. The Juvederm dermal filler product contains lidocaine which is a local anaesthetic. This ensures injections are as comfortable as possible.
The most commonly seen side effects include:
These normally resolve in 1-2 weeks.
