I've made an appointment for tear trough fillers

[puffinclubmember]

I hate the hollows under my eyes and am fed up with people asking me if I'm tired.
After months years of researching I've decided to bite the bullet.
I've found a Dr who seems to specialise on Alice Hart-Davis's website and saved the £450.
My biggest fear is lots of bruising but google tells me to eat pineapple and take Arnica.
A tips or experiences would be really welcome, I'm very nervous about it not reaching expectations.

Good luck, hope it goes well
I’ve not had them but it’s something I’ve considered. I also constantly get are you tired comments too

I had tear trough filler 2 months ago. I found it less painful than other areas of my face because they used a cannula.
I also really like the result, it's def helped the hollow look but hasn't reduced dark circles in any way

Thanks for the replies. This Dr uses a cannula too so I hoping not too painful. Did you get any bruising @IndieTara?
I do have dark circles but concealer takes the edge off, I'm hoping the fillers will make a difference to the hollows.

Hi OP no bruising at all but if you haven't had filler before it can be a weird sensation.

I had this for the first time recently. I didn't enjoy having it done, but I gritted my teeth. Dr also used a cannula. I had minor bruising. Give it a week or two to settle. Hope it goes well for you, let us know.

I really want that done too but I’m scared!! Can you take a before and directly after and a month after pic of just the under eye area pls so we can see? That would be sooo helpful!
Good luck.

Here are my before and after pictures, both with make up on

i've had it, it was fine - little bit of swelling for a couple of days but not bruising, i went back for a top up after a couple of weeks i think because my the doctor i saw prefers to under fill and then top it.

Thanks for the positive stories. Looks great @IndieTara, you are much younger than me, I'd be thrilled with results like that.
I'll take before and after photos, my appointment is early November.

Thanks Indie, appreciate that. If I could look that good I’d be well chuffed. I’m starting saving now so hopefully I can!!

I had this for the first time a month or so ago and I'm really happy with them. I look a lot less tired and more youthful. I bruise soooo easily but didn't bruise at all with this. I had a little mark on my cheek where she inserted the cannula but it was easily covered and went in a day or two. Good luck. You've obviously gone for a great clinician judging by the price so I'm sure you'll be happy.
Also I would say my dark circles are just as bad as before but easy to cover with concealer.

I really want this done. I’m 30 and under the eye area is so hollow it looks awful.

How much did everyone pay?

@passmethewineplease I paid £200 but I'm in Scotland so prices will be cheaper

30 seems a bit young to need it! Without seeing a pic, that is. I'm mid 40's.
Realise the aesthetic these days is for younger women to be all plumped up and smooth...

Indie you look great btw. Very natural result.

@puffinclubmember I'm 53

Thanks@BlackSwan I'm really happy with it

@BlackSwan I think mines down to genetics my mum has very hollow tear troughs. I’ve attached a pic.

I’m super tempted. I get Botox and lip filler and this just seems like a good natural progression.

If it troubles you - go for it. But your eyes look totally fine & I'm sure the overall impression is very youthful still!

I had this done a couple of years ago. They last longer than fillers on other parts of the face. I had my top-up recently and the aesthetic nurse said I didn’t need much since they had lasted so well. You won’t regret it, it makes such a difference.

Though, yes as other PP said, your eyes look perfectly fine to me.

I had it done with cheek fillers at the same time and I found it horrible (uncomfortable rather than painful,) I bruised badly and I’m not sure it helped.

The cheek fillers showed a subtle result but the tear trough fillers didn’t make any difference and in photos I could see a slight ridge which accentuated the bags. Waste of money for me!

When I had my tear troughs done I also had cheeks done to lift my naso labial folds, and some filler on the bridge of my nose. 2 weeks ago I went back and had some Botox :-))
I was made redundant in lockdown and used some of the money on myself for a change!

Ah thank you! Think they look better than they are in that pic!
