How Is Tear Trough Filler Done?

How Long Does Tear Trough Filler Last?

The longevity of tear trough filler varies depending on individual factors such as metabolism, lifestyle, and the type of filler used. Generally, the results of tear trough filler can last between 12-18 months. Some patients may experience longer-lasting effects, while others might need touch-ups sooner to maintain their desired look. One thing we do now know based upon MRI studies is dermal filler can persist for many years after treatment therefore people do not need to routinely get this repeated every year and it should be assessed first by their injector.

Is Tear Trough Filler Safe?

Tear trough filler is considered a safe and effective treatment when performed by a qualified and experienced aesthetic doctor. Hyaluronic acid fillers are biocompatible, meaning they are naturally absorbed by the body over time. This reduces the risk of adverse reactions. However, it is crucial to choose a reputable clinic and experienced practitioner who follow strict safety protocols and use high-quality products. Not a non medical practitioner or someone who has recently just completed a course, this is a advanced treatment which can lead to complications.

What Are the Risks?

While tear trough filler is generally safe, there are potential risks and side effects to be aware of:

Bruising and Swelling: Mild bruising and swelling at the injection site are common and usually subside within a few days.
Redness and Tenderness: Some patients may experience temporary redness and tenderness in the treated area.
Asymmetry: In rare cases, uneven results may occur, which can usually be corrected with additional filler.
Allergic Reactions: Although rare, allergic reactions to the filler material can occur. It is essential to inform your doctor of any known allergies or sensitivities before treatment.
Tyndall Effect: This is a bluish discoloration that can occur if the filler is injected too superficially. It is typically resolved with adjustment or massage by the practitioner.
Infection: As with any injection, there is a slight risk of infection. Ensuring that the procedure is done in a sterile environment minimizes this risk.
Vascular Complications: In very rare cases, the filler can be accidentally injected into a blood vessel, leading to more severe complications. This is why it is critical to choose an experienced and skilled practitioner.
