Tear Trough Filler

[AlienLady]

anyone had it? Any regrets?

I did. About 2 years ago and it sort of went a bit bunchy on one side. I later found out that if you’re very pale or freckly and have v thin skin under the eyes and especially if you’re the type with blue veins visible through your skin, it’s much more likely. I am all of those. It was good at first because it stopped me looking like Myra Hindley but the bunchy bit looked like a mosquito bite sort of. It’s almost gone of its own accord but I wouldn’t have it done again.

What would you do instead? Anything else that you recommend? I’ve done PRP which sorted the skin but not the hollows.

Don’t know - I sadly suspect the next step is a full deep plane and fat transfer. But I don’t have the budget for that.

I had the same experience. Also now gone. I use tret which helps a bit. Also for me the next step is acceptance. I am trying to shift my focus away from the lines. I mean I’m 55 and if I live to 85 I don’t want to spend the next 30 years worrying about my face as it’s only going to get more lined. That would be a waste of life.

I’m only 40 so I don’t want to enjoy the way I look. It’s only my hollows that bother me. Don’t care about any wrinkles etc

I did years ago. I didn’t have bags as such, just a deep ish purple ring under both eyes. It was brilliant and completely eradicated the problem.
I’ve never needed to have it done again as the circles never came back even after the filler dispersed.

Didn’t work for me at all,
could see no difference but had a huge black eye for a week on one side. Wouldn’t do it again a waste of money.

I’ve not had it done. Nearly did, but I’m scared of having that zone done.

Instead my Dr olaced a very small quantity of filler around the lower eye socket and that actually worked - seemed illogical to me at the time.

I would add, I also get Botox under the eye and my crows feet done (mine aren’t bad .. I just don’t like them). So it’s possibly everything all together that worked.
