Before any injection, a thorough medical examination is performed to analyze the tear trough in a personalized way. This area may show a more or less pronounced hollow depending on several factors : age, skin quality and thickness, genetics, and volume loss due to local fat atrophy.
The reasons for consultation are varied : tired-looking eyes, persistent shadows under the eyes, sad expression, asymmetry between the two sides of the face.
At this stage, the interaction between the doctor and the patient plays a central role. It allows for a precise understanding of aesthetic expectations and the setting of a realistic goal : reduce the hollow, soften the shadow, and harmonize the transition between the lower eyelid and the cheek. This thorough evaluation also helps determine whether a localized correction of the tear trough is sufficient, or whether a more comprehensive approach is preferable, including, for example, treatment of the cheekbones or dark circles.<\/p>\n
Results are visible immediately after injections, before leaving the practice. The hollow is softened, the tear trough appears filled and the eyes look more open and radiant. Change is often discreet but noticeable, particularly with appropriate products and technique.
However, the immediate result is not final. Slight swelling may develop over the following hours, creating an impression of greater filling than will remain. Waiting a few days allows the product to stabilise and the final result to be properly assessed.
During the first 24 to 72 hours, some patients experience moderate oedema, slight redness or tenderness, sometimes local bruising.
These temporary effects do not compromise the final result. They settle spontaneously within a few days without requiring social downtime.<\/p>\n
From the 7th<\/sup> day, results reach a reassuring level of stability. Hyaluronic acid progressively integrates into tissues and the filling effect improves. The original hollow smooths, infraorbital shadows diminish and the eyes look rested.
Any residual asymmetry can also be identified then. A small touch-up is performed if necessary, most often from the second week.
Results become distinctly more natural without overfilling or skin tension. The eyes look rested without the face appearing changed.<\/p>\nFinal results after tear trough injections<\/h2>\n
Final results are generally assessed 3 to 4 weeks after injections. Tissue integration is then optimal and resolved swelling permits precise aesthetic assessment.
The expected result is a harmonious lower eyelid-cheek transition with smooth contours, no irregularities or visible hollow, and visibly brighter eyes free of deep shadows associated with hollow dark circles. Results remain natural without facial rigidity or altered expressiveness.
When appropriately indicated and precisely performed, correction provides genuine aesthetic benefit : the eyes look rested, more open and subtly refreshed. Others notice improvement without necessarily suspecting treatment \u2014 a discreet, balanced result matching most patients' expectations.<\/p>\n
