Tear Troughs

The tear trough is an extended depression between the lateral parts of the nose and the cheekbones, which deepens with age and fatigue.

Their appearance is a consequence of the descent or ptosis of the malar fat, combined with a reduction in its volume during the ageing process. The face becomes sad and loses its radiance. Facial harmony is disrupted.

Over the years, this situation is aggravated by bony changes in the face, volume loss of underlying tissues and muscle wasting at the cheek level.

The tear trough, often associated with dark circles, is worsened by hormonal changes, stress, smoking and overwork.

The simplest method is filling the tear trough with a thick, volumising hyaluronic acid: this is a temporary, resorbable and reversible treatment.

The other option is filling with your own autologous fat to perform a fat cell graft that will have a more permanent effect.

Dr Weiss will advise you on the most suitable treatment for your case, taking into account other facial imperfections, to combine this procedure with another complementary treatment if necessary, for a natural and harmonious face.
