Tear Trough Under Eye
Under eye skin quality: how to improve it? Cosmetics treatments consultations to reduce under eye bags
Tear Trough
We see many patients looking for a solution to their concerns about hollows under the eyes. At Cityskin, we specialise in tear trough consultations, to provide our patients with comprehensive information about this solution.
The tear trough refers to the anatomical area under the eye. As we age, changes occur in the skull structure and facial fat distribution, leading to the development of tear troughs. The eye socket enlarges, while the cheekbones lose volume, resulting in less support and cushioning around the eyes. Gradual fat loss in the face also contributes to the prominence of tear troughs. During a consultation with a Cityskin clinician, you can learn all about how we treat the tear trough, how long the treatment is likely to last, and get personalised advice.
At Cityskin, we offer two primary methods for addressing concerns about tear troughs and under-eye bags:
Method 1: Cheek Volume
If your tear trough concerns are caused by volume loss in the fat pads of the cheeks, we can potentially address it treating this area. Learn more about this treatment method in a consultation with an experienced member of our treatment team.
Method 2: Direct Placement
For individuals with good cheek volume but concerns about a deep tear trough, the direct placement method may address these concerns. It is important to note that this method carries a slightly higher risk of bruising. Learn more about this in a volume enhancement consultation in Melbourne.
If you are ready to get tailored advice and expert information, our experienced team at Cityskin is here to help. Contact us to schedule a consultation about your concerns about tear trough and under eye hollows.

FAQs
Tear trough volume enhancement treatment lasts for up to 9 months depending on the type of treatment used. The under-eye area is delicate, and we must be conservative with the treatment approach taken.
The main risks of treating the tear troughs are:
- Bruising
- Over-treating
- Under-treating
The area around the eyes is one of the most difficult areas to treat. It is an area which is prone to water retention and puffiness, meaning there is a high change of bruising after the treatment. Therefore, we proceed with caution and take a conservative treatment approach.
Depending on the cause of the darkness under the eyes, it can lessen the visual appearance of dark circles.
When we age, we lose bone, fat pad, and muscle. The fat pads start shrinking in size and declining down the face, the muscle weakens, and bone structures change from bone reabsorption. The malar fat pad under the eye starts to descend the face, showing separation of the orbicularis retaining ligament.
This ligament is what separates the lid-cheek junction. If there is a visible deficit (dark circle) from bone reabsorption and separation of the fat pads, adding volume enhancement treatment to replace lost volume will lessen the appearance of dark circles.
Other reasons for dark circles include pigmentation and visible vascular structures, as the skin around the eyes is the thinnest skin on the entire body. Volume enhancement treatment will not help with the appearance if these are the cause.
