A tear trough is a deep crease between the lower eyelid and upper cheek, which can cast a shadow below your eyes, resulting in a tired and older appearance. In some individuals, tear troughs are a genetic trait while in others it is a consequence of the ageing process.

Tear trough filler is a minimally invasive procedure that restores lost volume in the area by injecting it with hyaluronic acid gel. The area is previously numbed with a topical anaesthetic so the treatment is carried out with as little pain or discomfort as possible
