What Is Under-Eye Filler?
Under-eye filler is a procedure that corrects under-eye hollowing (tear trough deformity) and the associated dark circle appearance by injecting soft hyaluronic acid filler. Because the under-eye area is thin and delicate, ultra-fine needles and soft HA gel are used; the procedure should be performed by an experienced physician. Under-eye filler prices and how many milliliters are used are summarized in this guide. You can also refer to our articles on periorbital care and filler types.
What Conditions Is Under-Eye Filler Used For?
Under-eye hollowing (tear trough), shadowing caused by fat pad loss, and dark circle appearance can be alleviated with under-eye filler. The treatment is most effective for hollowing prior to bag formation; surgical options may be considered when significant under-eye bags are present.
How Is Under-Eye Filler Performed?
Soft HA gel is injected beneath the under-eye fat pad or into the hollow area using a fine needle or cannula. Typically, 0.5–1 ml is sufficient. Topical and local anesthesia ensure patient comfort during the procedure. It can be scheduled on the same day as crow’s feet botulinum toxin treatment; for combination protocols, see our article on combining botox and filler.
Post-Treatment Care for Under-Eye Filler
Avoid massage and excessive heat for the first 48 hours. Swelling typically subsides within 2–5 days; cold compresses can help. Our post-filler care guide covers the general guidelines. Results may last 8–12 months.
