When they are caused by volume loss, tear trough filler can soften the hollow and create a smoother transition between the lower eyelid and the cheek. It is one of the most delicate areas to treat, and choosing an experienced injector is essential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Is Tear Trough Filler?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/kinamihealth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-13-1024x682.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-109882\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kinamihealth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-13-1024x682.png 1024w, https:\/\/kinamihealth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-13-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/kinamihealth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-13-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/kinamihealth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-13-1536x1023.png 1536w, https:\/\/kinamihealth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-13-600x400.png 600w, https:\/\/kinamihealth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-13-64x43.png 64w, https:\/\/kinamihealth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-13.png 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The tear trough is the groove that runs from the inner corner of the eye toward the cheek. With age, genetics or weight loss, it can deepen and cast a shadow. Tear trough filler uses a soft, low-hydrophilic hyaluronic acid (HA) gel, placed deep in small amounts, to fill this hollow. Because HA can be dissolved with hyaluronidase, it is the filler of choice for this area. Products designed for this zone are available in ranges such as <a href=\"https:\/\/kinamihealth.com\/ca-en\/brand\/juvederm\/\">JUV\u00c9DERM\u00ae<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/kinamihealth.com\/ca-en\/brand\/restylane\/\">RESTYLANE\u00ae<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/kinamihealth.com\/ca-en\/brand\/belotero\/\">BELOTERO\u00ae<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/kinamihealth.com\/ca-en\/brand\/teosyal\/\">TEOSYAL\u00ae<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/kinamihealth.com\/ca-en\/brand\/revanesse\/\">REVANESSE\u00ae<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Tear Trough Filler Procedure<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>An assessment of the under-eye area, cheeks and skin quality.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Skin disinfection and, often, a numbing cream.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Injection with a fine needle or, frequently, a cannula, which limits entry points and can reduce bruising.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Small amounts of product placed deep, close to the bone.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Immediate assessment of the result, then a follow-up at two to four weeks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The procedure usually takes 20 to 30 minutes. In many patients, restoring cheek support first improves the tear trough; see our article on <a href=\"https:\/\/kinamihealth.com\/ca-en\/blog\/ha-filler-combination-treatments-lips-cheeks-under-eye\/\">combination treatments<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Results: What to Expect<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"961\" src=\"https:\/\/kinamihealth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-14-1024x961.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-109891\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kinamihealth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-14-1024x961.png 1024w, https:\/\/kinamihealth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-14-300x282.png 300w, https:\/\/kinamihealth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-14-768x721.png 768w, https:\/\/kinamihealth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-14-1536x1442.png 1536w, https:\/\/kinamihealth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-14-600x563.png 600w, https:\/\/kinamihealth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-14-64x60.png 64w, https:\/\/kinamihealth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-14.png 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The hollow looks softer right away, but mild swelling can be present for a few days. The final result appears after about two weeks: a more rested look, with less shadow under the eyes. Results often last around a year, sometimes longer. Filler does not treat pigmentation, fine wrinkles or significant puffiness caused by fat pads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cost Factors for Tear Trough Fillers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The cost depends on the province, the clinic, the injector&#8217;s experience, the product chosen and the amount needed, often a small amount for both sides. The use of a cannula, the inclusion of a follow-up appointment and possible touch-ups also influence the price. Because this area requires expertise, choosing the lowest price is rarely the best strategy. Ask for a detailed quote during the consultation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Safety and Recovery<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The under-eye area has thin skin and many blood vessels, so the risks of bruising, a bluish tint (Tyndall effect), puffiness and, rarely, vascular complications are real. They are reduced by deep placement, small volumes, a suitable product and an experienced injector. Recovery is generally quick: mild swelling and possible bruising for a few days. Apply cold compresses, sleep with your head elevated and avoid alcohol, heat and intense exercise for 48 hours. See our article on <a href=\"https:\/\/kinamihealth.com\/ca-en\/blog\/how-to-reduce-swelling-after-fillers\/\">reducing swelling and bruising<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who Is a Good Candidate for Tear Trough Fillers?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Adults with a hollow or groove under the eyes caused by volume loss.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Good skin quality, without significant laxity.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>No major puffiness or fluid retention under the eyes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Realistic expectations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Patients with significant eyelid bags or very thin, lax skin may be better served by other treatments, such as surgery. In Canada, who may inject fillers depends on the province and the professional college.
