Fillers for Under Eye

What is Under Eye Filler?

Sometimes called “the tear trough” treatment or the “under eye circle fighter”, at The Plastic Surgery Clinic and MD Beauty Clinic we offer under eye filler treatments that work to improve the look of dark circles under the eye. Many people with genetically inherited dark circles have tried countless creams and eye masks, only to discover that absolutely nothing works.

In the right candidate, under eye fillers can improve this condition. It’s also a great treatment for someone looking to restore youthfulness to the under eye area, as it smooths out lines and wrinkles and rejuvenates the look of the skin.

What to Expect from Your Under Eye Filler Treatment?

At The Plastic Surgery Clinic and MD Beauty Clinic we typically treat the tear trough area with Belotero Balance or Restylane Eyelight. Both fillers are specifically designed for the eye area.

Belotero Balance is a hyaluronic acid based filler, a natural occurring molecule in the body, that is especially effective for individuals with very fair and thin skin under the eyes. Because of the way that it’s manufactured, as a smooth gel that naturally embeds itself into the structure of your skin, it is unable to create what’s called the tindle effect, that bluish shadow or hue that so often occurs in individuals with very thin skin under the eyes.

Restylane Eyelight is another example of a cross linked injectable filler that can be used under the eyes. It features a firm gel texture that ensures precise application and helps it stay where it’s needed. Restylane Eyelight fills the under-eye area reducing the appearance of shadows.

Most people who perceive dark circles have a natural hollowness under their eyes. Because the area above the depression is raised, a shadow is cast, making the hollowed area appear very dark. We inject under eye filler right into that hollowed area. Once it’s filled, the dark circles can be dramatically improved.

This under eye circle fighter treatment should only be performed by a licensed injector, or an aesthetic surgeon/dermatologist. The treatment takes about 15-30 minutes. Some patients book this treatment on their lunch break because it is so straight forward.

The Best Candidates for Under Eye Filler

The best candidates for under eye treatment are those with a natural depression under the eyes. This hollowness may be very pronounced or it might be subtle. Your provider will be able to determine whether Belotero Balance or Restylane Eyelight can solve your dark circles. Both men and women are candidates for this treatment. Under eye hollowness may be caused by the natural process of aging, or it may be genetic.

Preparing for Your Under Eye Filler Treatment

Prior to receiving any injectable treatment your provider may ask you to refrain from consuming alcohol or taking any medication that might thin your blood for a few days before and after treatment to avoid bruising.

Recovering Following Under Eye Filler Treatment

There is typically no downtime following this treatment. Some individuals perceive a small bruise that is easily covered by makeup. You can go back to your normal activities immediately following treatment.

How Much Does Under Eye Filler Cost?

One syringe of under eye filler costs $650 with a nurse injector or $750 when administered by an MD, and will last on average between 6 to 18 months. Some individuals find it lasts up to two years.
