What is Under Eye Light Filling?

Under Eye Light Filling is a filling technique used to eliminate the problems that occur under the eyes. Many reasons such as the intense pace of business life, excessive stress, unbalanced nutrition and irregular sleep cause collapse and color changes under the eyes. In addition to these reasons, people with genetically bruised under-eyes in their families complain of this problem.

Even if you are well-groomed and stylish, problems under the eyes always make you look tired and older than you are. In addition, the problem of bagging is not a problem that you can hide by applying makeup. For this reason, after the necessary doctor controls, under-eye light filling can be applied.

Under-eye filling; Some changes are observed in the under-eye area over time. The most prominent of these is the formation of under eye light filling bags due to time and fatigue and the deep scars that form just under these bags. Under-eye filling camouflages the deep lines and pits and prevents the tired appearance.

Why is Under Eye Light Filler Preferred?

Under eye light filler, sometimes referred to as tear trough fillers, is increasingly gaining preference among individuals looking to rejuvenate the under-eye area without undergoing invasive surgical procedures. This preference can be attributed to various reasons.

Firstly, the under-eye region is a delicate area where signs of aging, fatigue, and stress prominently manifest. Factors such as hollows, dark circles, and fine lines can give an appearance of tiredness and add years to one’s face. Utilizing a light filler can provide an instant lift, effectively mitigating these concerns by filling in the hollows and smoothing out the lines to bestow a fresher, younger appearance.

Secondly, under-eye light fillers are minimally invasive compared to surgical alternatives such as blepharoplasty. The procedure involves injecting hyaluronic acid or a similar filler substance under the eyes, a process that generally has a shorter recovery time and fewer potential complications than more invasive surgical procedures. This non-surgical nature of the procedure allows individuals to integrate it smoothly into their busy schedules without the need for extended downtime.

Furthermore, the treatment offers flexibility and customization based on individual needs and preferences. Skilled practitioners can precisely control the amount of filler used, allowing for a natural, subtler result, or a more pronounced transformation, depending on the individual’s desired outcome.

Importantly, the results achieved with under-eye light fillers are temporary, generally lasting between six to twelve months, providing an opportunity for individuals to experiment without committing to a permanent change. This temporary nature of the results can be seen as a beneficial factor, giving individuals the freedom to modify their decisions based on their satisfaction with the outcomes.

Which Areas Is Under Eye Light Filler Applied?

Under eye light filler is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that primarily targets the delicate region beneath the eyes to remedy signs of aging and tiredness. This area, known as the tear trough, extends from the inner corner of the eye, following a semi-circular arc downwards and then moving upwards to reach the outer corner of the eye. This is the primary region where the light filler is applied to achieve a rejuvenated appearance.

Aside from the tear trough, the filler can also be applied to the regions surrounding the tear trough to ensure a harmonious and natural-looking result. This includes the broader under-eye area where fine lines, also known as crow’s feet, tend to appear with age. A careful application of the filler in this area can help in reducing these lines, thereby giving a smoother skin texture.

Sometimes, practitioners also focus on the upper cheek area, right below the tear trough, to provide a lifting effect. By enhancing the volume in this region, it can indirectly mitigate the appearance of under-eye hollows and support the under-eye area better, creating a youthful and refreshed look.

In certain cases, individuals might have indentations or hollows that extend into the upper nose bridge, forming a kind of hollow that gives a tired appearance. Light filler can be used delicately in this area to fill in the hollows and ensure a smoother transition between the under-eye region and the nose, providing a well-rested appearance.

It is important to note that the under eye region is a sensitive and complex area, with thin skin and a network of blood vessels and nerves. Hence, the procedure should be conducted with precision and understanding of the anatomical intricacies to avoid complications such as swelling, bruising, or irregularities in the outcome.

How is the healing process after under-eye light filling?

The healing process takes an average of 3-4 days. During this period, swelling and bruising may occur. You can remove swelling by applying ice. Bruises will disappear spontaneously within a few days. If these problems still persist at the end of the first week, we recommend that you contact the physician who performed the procedure. Under-eye light filling application has the shortest recovery time among aesthetic applications.

One of the most frequently wondered issues about the procedure is whether there is any harm. There is no harm as long as it is performed with the advancement of technology, correct product use and appropriate technique. For this reason, you should be careful in choosing a clinic and physician while doing research before the procedure.

The filler used for the procedure is a substance that exists in our body. Therefore, allergic reaction development is out of question. However, since different and unapproved fillers are used in some clinics, there is a low rate of reaction.

Is There Pain After Under Eye Light Filling?

Since anesthetic cream is used before the application, there is no pain. People may not want to have it done thinking that it is a painful procedure. However, thanks to effective creams, no pain occurs neither during nor after the application. Only redness is seen in the injector entry areas. Since under-eye light filling is performed with cannulas with very small diameters, a very smooth and homogeneous image is obtained under the eye.

The application time is approximately 30 minutes. Since ice is applied for the first 15 minutes after the procedure is completed, bruising and swelling decrease rapidly. You can have a vibrant and youthful appearance without feeling pain and suffering.

How is under-eye filler different from other fillers?

All fillers applied to the face contain hyaluronic acid and are absorbed by the body in a certain period of time. An ideal filler is expected to be dissolved by the body without any problems and the life of the filler is expected to be maximum one year.

Depending on the area to be applied, the molecule size of the hyaluronic acid in the filler varies. Since the skin under the eyes is thinner than other parts of the face, the molecule size should be smaller than the fillers to be applied to other parts of the face. In this way, a smooth appearance can be achieved under the eyes.

How is under-eye filling applied?

Vascular density under the eyes is quite high. For this reason, more care should be taken when applying fillers under the eyes. In our own clinical practice, we prefer to perform under-eye filling with a blunt-tipped cannula.

In this way, we do not damage the thin vessels under the eye, and thanks to the cannula, we can ensure that the filler spreads homogeneously under the eye without the need for excessive injection. Before the filling application, we numb the area where the cannula will enter with creams with high local anesthesia properties and try to ensure that our patient feels the least pain during the application.

Is there an age limit for under-eye light filling?

Generally speaking, people notice under-eye problems at the age of 18 and after. Thanks to the ongoing collagen production and the young structure of the skin, under-eye problems do not cause discomfort.

For this reason, under-eye light filling is generally recommended for people aged 18 and over. The cessation of collagen production is a condition due to aging. The skin loses its elasticity and starts to wrinkle. The skin under the eyes is the thinnest and most sensitive layer of the skin. Therefore, the first deformation starts there.

How much filler should be applied is determined according to the degree of deformations. For people with mild wrinkles and shading, 1 cc filler can achieve satisfactory results. However, 2 or more fillers can be used for advanced problems. The permanence of under-eye light filling is 18 months.  However, when you think that the effect starts to decrease, you can go to your doctor and have the under-eye light filling application repeated.

How much under-eye filling should be done?

The amount of under-eye filling varies from patient to patient. In most of our patients, 1 cc filling is sufficient. In patients whose under-eye bags are very prominent and require a high amount of filling, it is not correct to fill these areas with high volume. Lower eyelid surgery stands out as a more accurate treatment method in such patients.

How long does under-eye filling last?

The permanence of under-eye filling is one year on average. At the end of one year, it is expected that almost all of the filler under the eye has been absorbed by the body.

There is no lifelong permanence of the filling procedure. When examined worldwide, hyaluronic acid, which is the best substance used and does not harm the human body, melts and disappears after a while. The permanence of under-eye light filling is 18 months on average. At the end of this period, the glow disappears and the pits begin to become prominent again. When you notice that the filling effect decreases, you can understand that it needs to be repeated.

The permanence period of the filler can be extended with effects such as the skin structure, moisture level and skin care of the person. In addition, post-procedure care can increase the filling effect. For this reason, you can ask your doctor how you should care and the products you will use.

What should be considered after under-eye filling?

Since the filling application is performed with a cannula, it is not expected to observe much swelling or bruising under the eyes. Again, at the end of the applications made with cannula, the filling material spreads homogeneously under the eye. It is recommended that our patients gently massage under the eye within the first day after the filling. In this way, the under-eye area gets a smoother appearance.

Can I return to work immediately after the filling?

Since the under-eye filler application is performed under local anesthesia and with a cannula, our patients can return to work after the application without swelling or bruising on their faces.

What is the best under-eye filler brand?

Today, there are two filler brands that can be applied under the eyes. These are Juvederm Volbella and Teoxane Redensity 2. The permanence period of both fillers is 1 year.

What is under-eye light filling?
