Tear troughs: Understanding before-and-after images

Compare photographs taken from the same angle and in similar light. Ask whether the images were edited and when they were taken in relation to treatment. Discuss contour, pigmentation and swelling separately. A photograph of another person or a generated example of a desired change establishes neither your suitability for filler nor the result you could achieve.

The article Under-eye bags in pictures adds context for distinguishing a hollow from a bulge. In suitable cases, a tear-trough hollow may be treated with filler without surgery. However, “without surgery” does not mean that every eye area is suitable or that there are no risks.

If you are also concerned about neck lines, frown lines, nasolabial folds, crow’s feet or lower-eyelid lines, you can raise these as separate questions. The same applies to a wish for a slimmer-looking face and questions about botulinum toxin.

Mentioning them does not recommend a particular use or combination. Whether any treatment is appropriate and how appointments should be planned are considered separately for each concern; treatment on the same day is not promised.

Whether you are enquiring from Essen, Düsseldorf, Berlin, Munich, Kerpen, Dortmund, Aachen or Cologne, your findings and a clear consultation guide the decision. These city names are not a list of confirmed treatment locations. The specific location and responsible clinician are clarified when planning an appointment.

You can send an enquiry by email or through the website’s WhatsApp contact. This initially concerns practical arrangements. Opening an email program or WhatsApp does not confirm that a message was sent and does not automatically book an appointment.

Only an in-person medical examination can establish which treatment may be suitable. The consultation covers your goals, alternatives, risks and the next steps.

Preparation includes discussing your medical history, medication and previous procedures. The treating clinician, actual treatment location and follow-up arrangements are clarified before any firm agreement is made.

Hyaluronic acid fillers can temporarily alter contours and volume. Possible side effects include swelling, bruising and infection. Accidental injection into a blood vessel can cause serious complications, including tissue damage and visual impairment.

Images may show different starting points, lighting and stages of recovery. They do not promise a particular outcome. Discuss which changes are realistic in your case and when the result can be meaningfully assessed.

Recovery and the return to normal activity depend on the treatment and your individual healing process. Swelling, bruising and discomfort may occur. Your treating doctor will explain aftercare and when you can resume everyday activities and exercise.
