Gentle Tear Trough Injections from Trusted Plastic Surgeons
Our surgeons bring exceptional expertise to under-eye filler treatments through years of experience in facial anatomy and delicate injection techniques. This specialized knowledge of the complex under-eye area allows us to achieve superior results with tear trough injections that many providers cannot safely perform.
“Under-eye filler is one of the most technically demanding treatments we perform because the anatomy is so complex and delicate,” explains Dr. Mackay. “Success requires understanding not just where to place filler, but understanding the intricate relationships between muscles, fat pads, blood vessels, and skin in this area. When done correctly, the results can be absolutely transformative for patients who have struggled with tired-looking eyes.”
Understanding Complex Under-Eye Anatomy
The under-eye area presents unique anatomical challenges that require specialized expertise for safe, effective treatment:
Tear Trough Anatomy
The tear trough is a natural depression that runs from the inner corner of the eye along the lower eyelid, which can deepen with age and create tired appearance.
Delicate Tissue Structure
Under-eye skin is among the thinnest on the body, with complex underlying structures including muscles, fat pads, and important blood vessels.
Aging Pattern Recognition
Understanding how the under-eye area ages differently in each individual guides precise treatment planning for optimal, natural-looking results.
Safety Considerations
The proximity to important structures requires exceptional anatomical knowledge and precise injection technique to ensure both safety and effectiveness.
What Is Under-Eye Filler Treatment?
Under-eye filler treatment, also known as tear trough injections, is a specialized procedure that uses advanced hyaluronic acid fillers to address hollowing, dark circles, and tired appearance in the under-eye area. This delicate treatment requires exceptional skill and anatomical knowledge to achieve natural-looking results safely.
The procedure involves strategic placement of specialized fillers designed for the delicate under-eye area, creating smooth transitions between the lower eyelid and cheek while eliminating shadowing that contributes to dark circles and tired appearance.
Modern under-eye filler techniques emphasize natural enhancement that restores youthful under-eye contours without creating an artificial or overdone appearance.
