What tear trough filler is and how it works

Tear trough filler is an aesthetic treatment that uses low-density hyaluronic acid to restore volume to the tear trough, the depression that forms between the lower eyelid and the cheek. By filling that space, the shadow projected under the eyes is reduced and the gaze looks more rested. Hyaluronic acid is a substance the body produces naturally and that attracts water, allowing for a smooth and integrated result.

The technique is usually performed with a cannula, a blunt instrument that slides beneath the skin and reduces the risk of bruising in such a delicate area. The product is placed in small amounts, because excess in this area produces persistent swelling or a bluish tone. That is why the selection of the material and the experience of the person applying it are decisive.

Who it is indicated for and who it is not

Tear trough filler works well when the problem is lack of volume in the tear trough. The usual candidates are:

  • People with a sunken under-eye hollow or marked groove under the eyes.
  • Those who have under-eye shadow that gives a tired appearance.
  • Patients with a tired gaze without excess skin or fat bags.
  • Thin individuals with volume loss in the midface.
  • Those seeking a non-surgical alternative for the under-eye hollow.

It is not indicated when the under-eye hollow is due to skin pigmentation, since hyaluronic acid does not lighten the color. Nor when there are fat bags, because filler can worsen them; in that case the indication is usually blepharoplasty. Dr. Sandro Florez evaluates each case in Bogotá to determine whether filler is safe and useful for you.

How the procedure is performed at Dr. Sandro Florez's office

Evaluation

Before any injection, Dr. Florez examines the periorbital area, identifies the cause of the under-eye hollow, and reviews your medical history. He explains whether filler is appropriate, what product he will use, and what result you can expect. If your under-eye hollow is due to pigmentation or fat bags, he will tell you honestly and guide you toward other options.

Procedure

The treatment is performed at the Bogotá office, at Calle 126 # 7-26, Torre 126, office PH-1303. Topical anesthesia is applied to reduce discomfort, and then the hyaluronic acid is injected with a cannula or fine needle, depending on the case. The session usually lasts between 20 and 40 minutes, and the amounts are small, intended for a natural result.

Afterward

At the end, symmetry is checked and you are given care instructions. You can resume your daily activities the same day, although some swelling or small bruises may appear and resolve within days. Dr. Florez schedules a follow-up to assess the evolution.

Results: what to expect and when

The change is noticeable immediately, because the groove looks less deep from the very first moment. However, during the first days there may be swelling that makes the area look a little fuller than it will end up. The result generally stabilizes at two weeks, when the product integrates with the tissues.

The duration usually exceeds one year, although it varies according to each person's metabolism, the product used, and subsequent care. Over time, the hyaluronic acid is gradually reabsorbed and the under-eye hollow slowly reappears. At that point, a touch-up can be considered to maintain the effect.

Care and recovery

Recovery from tear trough filler is simple, but the area requires attention during the first days. The usual recommendations include:

  • Avoid rubbing or massaging the treated area.
  • Do not do intense exercise during the first 24 to 48 hours.
  • Sleep on your back with your head slightly elevated for the first few days.
  • Avoid direct sun exposure and use sunscreen.
  • Do not apply makeup to the area during the first hours.

If bruises appear, they usually disappear within one to two weeks. Any discomfort is mild and managed with local cold. Dr. Sandro Florez gives you specific instructions according to your case at the Bogotá office.

Why have tear trough filler with a physician in Bogotá

The periorbital area is one of the most delicate areas of the face. An inadequate product, an excessive amount, or a deficient technique can leave persistent swelling, irregularities, or a bluish tone that is difficult to correct. That is why this treatment should be performed by a physician with training in facial anatomy and experience in injectables.

In Bogotá, Dr. Sandro Florez is a physician and surgeon with a focus on facial aesthetic medicine. His approach starts with honest evaluation: if filler is not what your under-eye hollow needs, he will tell you. And if it is, he works with conservative amounts and careful technique so the result looks natural, not artificial. Schedule your evaluation at this link.

Combinations with other treatments

Tear trough filler can be combined with other facial aesthetic medicine procedures to improve the harmony of the midface. Some options Dr. Florez may suggest depending on your case are:

The combination is defined during the evaluation, according to your goals and the characteristics of your skin. Not all patients need additional treatments; in many cases tear trough filler alone is sufficient.

How much tear trough filler costs in Bogotá

The cost of tear trough filler in Bogotá depends on several factors: the amount of hyaluronic acid needed, the type of product, the technique used, and the physician's experience. Treating a mild groove is not the same as treating a deep sunken under-eye hollow, and that influences the number of syringes and the consultation time.

That is why Dr. Sandro Florez does not publish standard prices. During the evaluation at his office at Calle 126 # 7-26, Torre 126, office PH-1303, he explains how much product you need and what the total cost is before performing the procedure. That way you can decide with clear information and no surprises. Schedule your evaluation.
