Under-Eye Hollow Filler
Under-eye filler places a small amount of soft hyaluronic acid into the tear trough to soften hollows and the shadows that make the eyes look tired. Because the area is delicate, your doctor typically uses a blunt cannula and conservative volume. It takes about 10–20 minutes, with possible mild swelling or bruising for a few days.
What is Under-Eye Hollow Filler?
Not everyone is a candidate: puffy eye bags or very thin skin may respond better to other treatments. Your doctor will assess this first.
