What Is Tear Trough?

The Tear Trough is the hollow groove that appears between the lower eyelid and the upper cheek area. When volume decreases or facial tissues change with aging, this area can become more noticeable and create a sunken or tired appearance. The appropriate treatment depends on whether the tear trough is caused by volume loss, fat displacement, skin quality changes, or facial structure.

Improving Under-Eye Hollowness and Restoring a Smooth Eye Contour at T&T Plastic Surgery Seomyeon

The under-eye area plays an important role in creating a youthful and refreshed facial appearance. A visible Tear Trough can create shadows, deepen dark circles, and make the face appear tired even when well-rested. Tear trough treatment is designed to improve the hollow area between the lower eyelid and cheek, creating a smoother transition and more balanced facial contours.

At T&T Plastic Surgery Seomyeon, each tear trough treatment plan is customized according to facial structure, under-eye anatomy, skin condition, and individual aesthetic goals. The clinic focuses on achieving natural-looking improvements that brighten the eye area while maintaining facial harmony for both local and international patients.

Techniques

Treatment Options for Tear Trough

01

Tear Trough Filler

Tear trough filler uses injectable materials to restore volume and soften the hollow area beneath the eyes.

This option may be suitable for patients with mild to moderate hollowing who prefer a non-surgical approach.

  • Improved under-eye shadows
  • Smoother eye-to-cheek transition
  • Immediate volume enhancement
  • Minimal downtime
02

Under Eye Fat Grafting

Under Eye Fat Grafting restores volume using purified fat from the patient's own body.

This option may be considered for patients with more noticeable volume loss.

  • Natural volume restoration
  • Softer under-eye contours
  • Long-lasting enhancement
  • Improved facial balance
03

Under Eye Fat Repositioning

For patients with under-eye bags and tear trough shadows, fat repositioning can create a smoother contour by redistributing existing fat.

  • Reduced under-eye bulging
  • Smoother lower eyelid appearance
  • Improved transition between eye and cheek
  • Natural rejuvenation
04

Lower Eyelid Surgery

When tear trough concerns are combined with significant skin laxity or under-eye bags, lower eyelid surgery may provide a more comprehensive correction.

  • Improved lower eyelid firmness
  • Reduced excess skin
  • Smoother under-eye appearance
  • Long-lasting results
