Under-Eye / Tear-Trough Correction (Hyaluronic Acid)

Hyaluronic acid placed in the tear-trough to soften the dark shadows and hollowing that can make the under-eye area look tired. By gently restoring volume in the groove between the lower lid and cheek, the treatment is associated with a fresher, less sunken appearance. It is a delicate area, so the correction is performed conservatively by the physician after assessing whether filler is the right approach.

The tear-trough is the groove that runs from the inner corner of the eye along the top of the cheek. As the midface loses support with age, this area can deepen and cast a shadow, giving a tired, hollow or dark-circled look even when you are well rested. Carefully placed hyaluronic acid can restore a little volume here, softening the transition between the lower eyelid and the cheek so the area looks smoother and more refreshed. At Klinika dr Grażyny Bem this is treated as a delicate, precision procedure. The physician first assesses whether the hollowing is suited to filler, as not every under-eye concern is — pronounced eye bags or significant skin laxity may respond better to other approaches. A small amount of gel is then placed deep against the bone, usually with a blunt cannula to reduce bruising, and built up cautiously. Results are visible immediately and refine over one to two weeks; mild swelling or a small bruise can occur. Correction in this area tends to last a relatively long time, often around a year or more, and the result can be dissolved if adjustment is wanted. Because the under-eye is unforgiving, conservative dosing and an honest assessment of suitability are central to the approach, both confirmed at a medical consultation.
