Everything Your Need to Know About Tear Troughs

So what is a tear trough you are probably thinking? A tear trough deformity can be characterised b a sunken appearance of the under eye resulting in a dark shadow over the lower lid. This can leave a patient with a fatigued appearance.

Many patients come into our clinics across the UK asking about tear troughs but not all are suitable for treatment. Our Doctors will look at the rest of the face and importantly the midface area (cheeks). There is an important fat pad here and quite often volume loss in this area has to be treated before the actual tear trough is treated.

When correcting tear troughs at the Marlowe Clinic, Dr Raph preferred technique is to use a cannula. This reduces the risk of bruising and other associated complications.
