- This is one of the areas that can most easily show signs of stress in your face, such as shadows under your eyes. These can result from genetics, aging, and loss of sleep.

WHAT IS TEAR TROUGH CORRECTION?
- Tear trough correction actually refers to a number of treatments that can address the hollows under your eyes, dark circles, bags, or a combination of all three.
- Procedures can include dermal fillers, chemical peels, fat grafting, fat repositioning, and lower blepharoplasty, all of which will help restore brightness and/or volume under your eye. Depending on your specific needs, Dr. Lee can curate a treatment plan best for you and your needs.
Is Tear Trough Correction Right for Me?
Hollows under your eyes can result from genetics, the aging process, and/or lack of sleep.
- These hollows can deepen over time, causing your eyes to look more pronounced and aged. You can also experience these effects as early as your 20s, which can make you look permanently dissatisfied or exhausted.
- In addition, if you’re unhappy with wrinkles, large shadows, or bags under your eyes, you can correct these issues by replacing or repositioning natural fat, using dermal fillers, or even undergoing surgical procedures such as blepharoplasty.
TEAR TROUGH CORRECTION PROCEDURE
With the many types of procedures available for tear trough correction Chelmsford patients are offered personalized treatment plans to fit their exact needs.
For patients who receive blepharoplasty, they will first be placed under IV sedation. Dr. Lee will then create a small incision and remove the extra skin under the eyes. For patients lacking volume, fat transfer may be used instead, which involves liposuction and fat injection, a minimally invasive procedure. And for those who choose dermal fillers, topical numbing creams are used before the non-surgical procedure.
What to Expect During Tear Trough Correction
Because there are several kinds of treatment available, you may end up undergoing either a surgical or non-surgical treatment plan.
- Blepharoplasty, fat transfer, and fat repositioning all require either general or local anesthesia. Dermal fillers and under-eye chemical peels usually have topical analgesics to reduce discomfort during the actual treatment.
- You will notice immediate differences after your procedure, but due to minor swelling and bruising, your final results will not be fully visible until these effects fade in about two weeks.
