Dermal Fillers are often used to minimize a depression of the tear trough (the junction where the lower eyelid meets the cheek). Because the skin is thinner in the lower eye area, this is one of the first areas to show visible signs of aging. Deep tear troughs can give the appearance of dark circles which result in a “hollowed” or “tired” look to the eye area. Dermal fillers when used in this area typically last 12 months or longer. The use of Juvederm® or Restylane® in this area is considered “off label”, and should be performed by a surgeon who has experience in this technique.
