Tear troughs

Tear troughs are the lines or hollows that run from the inner corner of the eye towards the cheek. They can make the face look tired, gloomy or older appearance give, even when you are well rested. At Xavier Clinics we specialize in subtle and safe treatment of tear troughs, with an eye for a fresh and natural look.

The tear trough is a sensitive and anatomically complex area. Therefore, we perform this treatment exclusively with the utmost precision and medical expertise.

How do tear troughs form?

Tear troughs are caused by a combination of factors:

  • Loss of volume under the eyes

  • Decrease in collagen and elasticity

  • Thinning skin around the eyes

  • Genetic predisposition

  • Fatigue and aging

In some cases, tear troughs appear deeper shadow effect, not because there's actually a significant volume gap. Therefore, a proper analysis is essential.

Tear trough treatment: our approach

At Xavier Clinics we always look at the total face, not just the tear trough itself. Sometimes the cause lies in a loss of volume in the cheeks or cheekbones.

Our approach consists of:

  • A comprehensive and honest consultation

  • Analysis of skin, volume and shadow effect

  • Use of specially selected hyaluronic acid fillers

  • Highly controlled injection techniques

  • Focus on safety and natural rejuvenation

Goal of treatment:
A fresh, rested appearance without bags, swelling or an unnatural effect.

Result of a tear trough treatment

  • Less tired appearance

  • Softer transition between eye and cheek

  • Fresher and more youthful face

  • Subtle and natural result

The result holds on average 12 to 18 months on, depending on skin type, product choice and lifestyle.

Frequently asked questions about tear troughs

What exactly are tear troughs?

Tear troughs are hollows or lines under the eyes that run from the corner of the eye towards the cheek and can cause shadows.

Is a tear trough filler safe?

Yes, provided it's performed by an experienced cosmetic surgeon. The tear trough is a high-risk area and requires extensive anatomical knowledge and the correct technique.

Is tear trough treatment painful?

Most fillers contain a numbing agent. The treatment is usually experienced as slightly sensitive, but well-tolerated.

How long will the treatment take?

Average 20 to 30 minutes, including consultation and treatment.

Am I at risk for swelling or bags under my eyes?

This can happen with incorrect technique. At Xavier Clinics, we work with minimal quantities and specific products to minimize this risk.

When will I see results?

The result is immediately visible, but you will see the final effect after about 1 to 2 weeks.

What are possible side effects?

Mild swelling, redness or bruising may occur and usually disappear within a few days.

Is everyone suitable for a tear trough filler?

Not everyone. During the consultation, we'll assess whether a filler is the right choice or whether another treatment is more appropriate.

Can the treatment be combined with other treatments?

Yes. Tear troughs are often combined with cheeks/cheekbones, skin boosters or collagen stimulating treatments for an optimal and natural result.

Consultation with the doctor

Before all treatments, a consultation is scheduled. During this consultation, the doctor will listen to your wishes and explore the options available to achieve them. The doctor will thoroughly inform you about the pre- and aftercare, the expected results, any risks, and the recovery process for the chosen treatment.

The treatment

Once you've chosen to undergo treatment with us, we'll ask you to complete a medical questionnaire and sign a treatment agreement beforehand. If you take a lot of medication, please bring your medication list to your appointment.

Photos will be taken of you both before and after the treatment for your medical records. In some cases, the skin is locally anesthetized with a numbing cream or anesthetic solution before the treatment.

Aftercare

After the treatment, you will receive an aftercare form by email. You do not need to stay at the clinic and can go home immediately. It is common for the skin to be red and swollen after the treatment, and sometimes some bruising may occur. These side effects will disappear on their own. It is important that you cool the treated area well with the cool pack you received, if advised. If you experience severe bruising, we recommend applying Arnica cream to the treated area.

It is recommended that you avoid applying makeup to the treated areas for the first four hours after treatment. Exposure to intense heat (sun, sauna, or tanning bed) is also discouraged for one week after treatment. We advise against having a facial for two weeks after treatment. You can assess the final result after two weeks.

If you have any questions about your recovery, please feel free to contact us.

Risks

The risk of complications is very small. As with any procedure, there is a small risk of infection or allergy.
