Fixing Dark Circles Beneath the Eyes Due to Tear Trough Deformity

If you notice dark circles beneath your eyes or a hollow under the lower lid area, you might have what’s called a tear trough deformity. Sounds scarier than it actually is! A tear trough deformity is just a furrow or channel that develops beneath the lower eyelid—usually with aging but some people have this naturally just due to their genetic makeup. When light hits the tear trough area of the eyes, the furrow creates a shadow, which can also look like dark circles beneath the eyes. Now, if the area under your eyes is puffy or baggy, this makes everything look a bit worse. The tear trough area can be remedied with just some injected filler, but if you have puffiness under the eyes, that must be treated with a lower blepharoplasty.

In my Delaware plastic surgery practice, I’ve found Juvederm to be terrific as a filler to get rid of that shadowy area. It fills the area nicely, is an easy gel to insert and lasts long enough to satisfy those with this problem. Call us if this is an issue for you and let’s see how quickly we can help you get rid of it!

To your health & beauty,
