Under-eye filler
Hyaluronic acid filler placed in the tear trough to soften hollows. One of the highest-risk areas for filler.
What the report examines on your face
- The under-eye area: true hollowing versus dark pigment, thin skin or puffiness, which filler does not fix
- Skin thickness over the tear trough, which affects visible lumps and blue tint
- Midface volume, since cheek support often changes how the under-eye reads
What patients report paying
$950 average ($500–$975) · per syringe (range); average per treatment. Source: RealSelf, 87 RealSelf patient reviews, 2023-06.
Downtime: No downtime
How long it lasts: 6–24 months
Filler longevity: the 6–24 month figure is what patients report; an MRI review found filler still present in all 33 patients studied, some more than 10 years after injection (PRS Global Open, 2024).
Questions this treatment raises
- Is my under-eye a hollow, a shadow, pigment, or a bag? Which of those does filler help?
- Which product, how much, and how deep will it be placed?
- What is the plan and cost if it needs dissolving?
- Would supporting the cheek change the under-eye without touching the tear trough?
