Immediate Effects
Initial Plumping
Immediate effects are noticeable right after tear trough filler treatment.
As the hyaluronic acid gel is injected into the under-eye area, it starts to fill in the hollowed-out appearance of the tear troughs, creating an instant lifting and plumping effect.
You’ll likely see a reduction in the darkness and hollowness under your eyes, making them appear brighter and more youthful.
Some patients might experience minor swelling or bruising immediately after the procedure, but this typically resolves within a few days.
The instant gratification of tear trough filler begins immediately after injection.
The instant gratification of tear trough filler begins immediately after injection.
You’ll notice a reduction in the appearance of dark circles and hollows under your eyes right away.
This is because the hyaluronic acid filler plumps up the area, filling in the depressed space beneath your eyes.
Here’s what you can expect to see immediately:
- Reduced darkness under your eyes
- A smoother, more even skin texture
- An overall brighter and more awake appearance
It’s important to remember that swelling is a normal part of the healing process.
Some bruising may also occur, but this typically resolves within a few days.
You can apply ice packs to help minimize swelling.
Reduced Hollows
Immediate effects are exactly what they sound like – changes you’ll notice right after getting tear trough filler.
This typically involves a reduction in the appearance of dark circles, often described as “hollows” under the eyes. The filler plumps up the area, smoothing out those indentations and making the skin appear brighter and more lifted.
Other immediate effects might include a subtle reduction in fine lines and wrinkles surrounding the tear trough. However, keep in mind that these results can vary depending on factors like the type of filler used, the skill of the injector, and individual skin characteristics.
Volume restoration creates a more even skin surface, minimizing the appearance of sunken hollows under the eyes.
Volume restoration through dermal fillers works to address the appearance of sunken hollows under the eyes (tear troughs) by replenishing lost collagen and fat in this area.
This immediate effect creates a more lifted and smoother look, effectively minimizing the prominence of under-eye hollows.
The filler acts as a scaffold, providing support to the surrounding tissue and helping to fill in the depressions. This leads to a more even skin surface and a reduction in the appearance of shadows or darkness under the eyes.
Short-Term Results (Days to Weeks)
Gradual Enhancement
Short-term results from tear trough filler, visible within days to weeks, primarily involve **immediate volume enhancement** and a reduction in the appearance of hollowness under the eyes.
Within the first 24-48 hours, you’ll likely notice a subtle lifting effect as the filler plumps up the area.
Over the next few days to a week, the swelling associated with the procedure will subside, and the final results will become more apparent.
This is when you should see a significant reduction in under-eye hollowness and a smoother, more youthful contour.
By weeks 2-4, any remaining minor swelling will dissipate, leaving behind lasting improvement in the appearance of your tear trough.
Over the following days and weeks, the hyaluronic acid in the filler gradually binds with surrounding water molecules.
Over the first few days following a tear trough filler treatment, you might notice some mild swelling and bruising around the injection sites. This is a normal part of the healing process.
As the initial swelling subsides, which usually happens within a week or so, you’ll start to see the subtle effects of the filler taking hold. The hyaluronic acid molecules will have started attracting water, gradually plumping up the under-eye area and diminishing the appearance of tear troughs.
Within a week or two, most patients experience significant improvement in their tear trough appearance. The hollowness beneath the eyes appears less pronounced, and the skin looks smoother and more hydrated.
It’s important to note that everyone’s individual healing process is different. Some people may see results sooner than others, while it may take a bit longer for some to achieve their desired outcome.
Optimal Appearance
You’ll start noticing improvements in your tear troughs within days to a week after receiving filler injections.
Initial results usually manifest as a subtle reduction in hollowness and a smoother appearance under the eyes.
However, it takes about two weeks for the filler to fully settle into place and achieve its optimal effect.
During this settling period, slight swelling or bruising may occur, but these side effects typically resolve within a few days.
While you’ll see a visible difference quickly, remember that complete optimal appearance takes time.
This allows the filler to integrate naturally with your facial tissues for a refreshed and rejuvenated look.
Around two weeks posttreatment, you’ll likely see the full effect of the tear trough filler as it settles into its final position.
Around two weeks post-treatment, you’ll likely see the full effect of the tear trough filler as it settles into its final position.
During this initial period, some swelling and bruising might persist, which can slightly mask the results. However, most patients report a noticeable improvement in the appearance of their under-eye hollows within this timeframe.
The hyaluronic acid filler gradually integrates with the surrounding tissue, creating a smoother transition between the cheekbone and the tear trough area.
This plumps up the under-eye area, effectively reducing the prominence of dark circles and shadows.
It’s important to note that individual results may vary depending on factors like the type of filler used, the severity of the under-eye hollows, and each person’s healing process.
Long-Term Maintenance
Duration of Results
Long-term maintenance and the duration of results after tear trough filler treatment are key considerations for patients seeking a natural-looking reduction in under-eye hollows.
Tear trough filler, typically hyaluronic acid (HA) gel, is designed to temporarily volumize the area beneath the eyes, smoothing out depressions and restoring a youthful appearance.
However, the longevity of these results varies depending on several factors:
- Type of Filler: Different HA fillers have varying molecular weights and cross-linking densities. Generally, fillers with higher cross-linking tend to last longer.
- Individual Metabolism:**
- Sun Exposure: Excessive sun exposure can break down collagen and elastin, potentially accelerating the breakdown of filler.
- Lifestyle Factors:**
Everyone’s body processes substances at a different rate. Some individuals may notice their filler results diminishing faster than others.
Smoking, dehydration, and poor diet can also influence the longevity of filler results.
On average, tear trough filler results typically last between 6 to 18 months.
To maintain optimal results and prolong the effects:
- Regular Touch-Up Treatments: Schedule follow-up appointments with your provider every 6-12 months for maintenance injections. This will help replenish the filler as it naturally degrades.
- Sun Protection:**
- Healthy Lifestyle Choices:** Maintain a healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and antioxidants. Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated, and avoid smoking as it can compromise collagen production.
Always wear sunscreen with a broad spectrum SPF of 30 or higher daily, even on cloudy days, to protect your delicate under-eye area from UV damage.
It’s important to discuss your individual expectations and lifestyle with your qualified aesthetic provider to determine the most suitable filler type and treatment plan for achieving your desired results and maintaining their longevity.
The longevity of tear trough filler varies depending on factors such as individual metabolism and lifestyle choices.
