The tear trough, also known medically as the lacrimal groove, is a natural anatomical depression between the lower eyelid and the cheek. This narrow groove runs diagonally downwards and outwards from the inner corner of the eye. In some people, the tear trough is more pronounced from birth, while in others it only becomes more visible with age.
This depression is caused by the specific arrangement of the facial muscles and subcutaneous tissue in the periorbital area. The tear trough can vary in severity and have different causes. Genetic predisposition plays a significant role, as does the natural aging process.
Over the years, the skin loses elasticity and volume. The subcutaneous fatty tissue decreases, causing the underlying anatomical structures to become more prominent. At the same time, the production of Collagen and elastin decreases, leading to thinner and less firm skin.
The area around the eyes is particularly affected, as the skin there is already thinner than in other areas of the face. This makes the tear trough deeper and more pronounced. In addition, factors such as sun exposure, facial expressions, and individual lifestyle can also exacerbate the development of tear troughs. The result is often dark shadows and an overall tired-looking eye area.
Tear trough filling is performed using specially developed hyaluronic acid fillers that are perfectly suited to the sensitive periorbital area. Hyaluronic acid is a natural component of our skin and is characterized by its excellent tolerability.
During tear trough hyaluronic acid treatment, the gel is injected directly into the hollowed areas. This restores lost volume and evens out the trough. Hyaluronic acid binds water, providing natural padding from within.
Our expert, Dr. Lucija Grittern, uses precise injection techniques to achieve a harmonious and natural result. The treatment requires the utmost precision, as the periorbital area is particularly sensitive. Through the targeted placement of the filler, impressive before and after results can be achieved with tear trough filling.

In principle, anyone with pronounced tear troughs can benefit from the treatment. It is particularly suitable for people aged 30 and over who are showing signs of age-related changes. A detailed consultation with Dr. Lucija Grittern will clarify the individual options.
The treatment usually takes 30 to 45 minutes. This time includes preparation, the actual tear trough injection, and a short follow-up observation. The actual injection time is significantly shorter.
In most cases, a single session is sufficient to achieve significant improvements in the tear troughs. In cases of very pronounced findings or special requests, a second treatment may be advisable.
The duration of effect of the tear trough Hyaluronic acid treatment is typically 12 to 18 months. The individual longevity depends on various factors such as metabolism, lifestyle, and the used filler.
The treatment is usually painless. Many patients report only minor discomfort during the injection. The fillers used often already contain a local anesthetic, which further increases comfort.
After the treatment, you should refrain from sports and saunas for 24 hours. Avoid strong facial expressions and rubbing your eyes. Light cooling can be helpful to reduce swelling.
As with all aesthetic procedures, mild side effects such as swelling, redness, or small bruises may occur. These are usually harmless and disappear after a few days. Serious complications are very rare when the procedure is performed professionally.
The cost of tear trough Hyaluronic acid treatment starts at €450. The exact price depends on the individual treatment required and the amount of filler needed. You will receive a transparent cost estimate during a personal consultation.
