Tear Trough filler in Scottsdale, AZ 85260

About method tear trough filler

Are you tired or always looking tired? Do you have dark shadows under your eyes, which do not improve after months or even years of using the best eye serums? Do your friends ask you, if you slept enough, even after a restful night? You might be a candidate for filler injection. 

How does tear trough fillers work?

During this minimally invasive procedure, a small amount of dermal filler, such as Restylane L or Belotero, or your own plasma will be injected into the area under your eyes. This restores volume and smoothes out the appearance of dark circles and hollows, resulting in a more refreshed and youthful appearance.

Juvéderm fillers are not preferred filler for tear trough by Dr Natalya, because these fillers are more hydrophilic. This means they are more likely to absorb more water, resulting in puffy eyes after the treatment

The amount of filler used and the number of injections required will depend on the individual’s specific needs and the severity of their tear troughs. The procedure typically takes 45-60 minutes and there is minimal downtime required. Most patients will experience no downtime, but some might develop mild swelling around the eyes.on the following day post procedure. However, this discomfort is typically very mild and resolves after a couple of days. Area under your eyes is not as active as your lips or cheeks, so dermal filler injected into the tear trough typically lasts much longer, anywhere from 2-5 years.

What are the risks and side effects of tear trough treatment?

Tear trough treatment is generally considered safe when performed by a qualified and experienced healthcare provider. However, like any medical procedure, it carries some risks and potential side effects. These include:

Swelling: Swelling is a common side effect after tear trough treatment and can last for several days.

Allergic reaction: Some people may experience an allergic reaction to the dermal filler used in tear trough treatment. If we are using PRP injections, allergic reactions are not possible. 

Bruising: Bruising is very unlikely but always possible. We are minimizing the chance for bruising by using a dull cannula, not a sharp needle. We also advise our patients not to drink alcohol the night before their tear trough treatment. Also, stopping any blood thinning supplements, such as fish oil, for example, at least one week before your treatment, will help to minimize chances for bruising.   

We understand that having needles close to your eye might be a very frightening thought for many of us, so we offer nitrous oxide (laughing gas) sedation to our most nervous patients. There is minimal or no pain associated with the procedure, but the main challenge is to stay calm and remind yourself, we are not going to injure your eyeball.
