Everyone has tear troughs, or hollows under the eye. However, these can become deeper due to genetics or aging, making us look dissipated or tired. Fortunately, there are ways to improve these areas so that your under eyes aren’t making you look like you’ve been burning the candle at both ends.
Tear Trough Treatment in NYC
Dr. Gerald Imber, a board-certified plastic surgeon based in New York City, is highly regarded worldwide, including the Tri-State Area for his expertise in facial rejuvenation. He specializes in personalized, state-of-the-art procedures designed to address multiple aesthetic concerns with the eyes, including tear trough augmentation.
During your initial consultation with Dr. Imber, he will assess your under-eye area and discuss your goals in detail. Together, you’ll determine the best approach to restore a refreshed, youthful appearance.
Depending on your preferences and needs, Dr. Imber offers two effective options for treating tear troughs:
Dermal Fillers
For a more temporary solution, consider dermal fillers. During this minimally invasive procedure, Dr. Imber injects small amounts of a hyaluronic acid filler into the tear trough. This treatment:
- Plumps the hollow area
- Smooths the transition between the lower eyelid and cheek
- Reduces the appearance of dark shadows
Fillers require little-to-no downtime and delivers immediate results lasting anywhere from 6 to 12 months. Additionally, this option allows patients to “test drive” what a more permanent solution might look like.
Fat Grafting
For long-lasting results, Dr. Imber recommends fat transfer, also known as fat grafting. This surgical (but still minimally invasive) surgical procedure involves harvesting fat from another area of your body — commonly the abdomen or thighs — and then carefully injecting it into the tear troughs after thorough purification.
Because your own fat tissue is used as the filler, the results are natural-looking and longer-lasting than artificial fillers. There is also no chance of an allergic reaction. While this procedure involves some recovery time, the results make it a preferred choice for patients seeking improvements.
