Tear though fillers. Anyone had this done ?

Hello. Has anyone had tear though fillers ?
I’m 36 and I’ve had bags under my eyes for as long as I can remember. I’m convinced they are hereditary ??? My mum has them as did my my dad. I drink lots of water so it’s definitely not that. I’ve cut right back on caffeine and it’s not helped. I’ve tried roll ons and creams but nothing works!

A bit of research has lead me to believe that this treatment may be for me. Online before and after pics look fab but I’ve never had anything like this done before. I’ve found a clinic that has excellent reviews so I’m definitely going to have a consultation but I wondered if anyone here has had it done and if you were happy with it ???

My daughter had teat trough fillers,they were lumpy,she had to have them dissolved and redone
I had cheek fillers which also took the bags away

I would also like to improve the appearance of my (hereditary) hollow tear troughs, but decided against tear trough filler. Basically:

  • tear trough is a difficult/advanced area to treat and needs a skilled practitioner, you can’t just go anywhere for this. Many clients find that they enjoy the results after the treatment but find that the product ends up settling in an unflattering way, eg lumps are extremely common in this area.
  • techniques have evolved in recent years, so the focus of filler in this application has changed from directly filling the area to filling in adjacent areas to built a scaffold instead. Eg mid cheek filler will lift the cheek and as a result make the tear troughs less prominent by acting as a scaffold, without directly filling in the tear trough and having unwanted side effects. Same with nasolabial folds.

Lhastingsmua agree, and I'd add that overfilling the nasiolabial folds gives that flat faced "done" look people would usually try to avoid. Contours are natural and expected even on young women, ironed-out creases are not.

I went off the idea when I read in the NYT that you can go blind (really really rare but I am a big scaredycat) I am also looking at cheek fillers because they can help with bags and also lift the jowly area.

I thought it was a waste of money for the effect and the procedure was quite unpleasant. I’m not sure if I even looked worse.

Yes, I think subtle fillers strategically placed across the face look more natural than directly filling hollow areas like tear trough/nasolabial folds.

The only people I know with tear trough filler didn’t like the end results; it’s either not noticeable or just problematic. My practitioner even advises clients against it. Everyone is different though.
