Tear Trough Correction

The Science of the Tear Trough

The tear trough is the groove that runs diagonally from the inner corner of the eye along the rim of the lower lid. As the supporting fat and bone change with age, this groove deepens, creating a dark, sunken shadow that makes the eyes look tired regardless of how rested you are. Tear trough correction places a soft, low-density hyaluronic acid deep against the bone to fill the groove and smooth the transition between lid and cheek. Because the area is thin, vascular, and unforgiving, Dr. Soheila treats it conservatively and precisely, usually with a blunt micro-cannula, restoring a smooth, light-reflecting under-eye and a noticeably fresher, brighter gaze.

The Recovery & Results Timeline

01

Hours 1–4 | Precision Settling & Integration

Stay upright and avoid pressing or rubbing the area for the first few hours so the filler sets precisely in the groove. A little puffiness is normal.

02

Days 1–2 | The Seamless Return

For 24 to 48 hours avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, alcohol, and salty foods. The tear trough bruises easily, so any bruise may take several days to fade.

03

Days 3–7 | The Softening Phase

As any swelling resolves, the groove looks filled and the shadow lightens, giving a smoother, brighter, less tired under-eye.

04

Day 14 | The Seamless Lock & Review

Your result is most accurately judged at two weeks, once fully settled. This milestone includes a signature 14-day review with Dr. Soheila to fine-tune if needed.

Micro-Focused FAQs

They treat the same region. Tear trough specifically refers to correcting the deep groove along the inner lower lid, while under-eye filler is the broader term for smoothing the whole under-eye hollow. Dr. Soheila will assess your anatomy and treat exactly what is causing your shadows.

It is a technique-sensitive area, which is why it should only be treated by an experienced injector. Dr. Soheila uses a soft product, conservative volumes, deep placement, and usually a blunt cannula to keep it safe, smooth, and natural — and because it is hyaluronic acid, it can be dissolved if ever needed.

Results commonly last 9 to 18 months because the area moves so little. It is fully reversible with a simple enzyme injection if you ever wish to change it.
