Tear trough filler softens the hollow groove under the eyes – the “tear trough” – that can make you look tired even when you are well rested. At Dr Elif Clinic, 54 Harley Street, London, a doctor places a small amount of hyaluronic acid filler into the hollow to smooth it and reduce the shadow that reads as dark circles. The treatment takes 15–30 minutes, the difference is visible straight away and the result lasts around 6–18 months.

Tear trough filler before and after
Results vary from person to person.
What is the tear trough?
The tear trough is the groove that runs from the inner corner of the eye, down along the lower eyelid and into the cheek. When it becomes more pronounced it creates a hollow, a shadow that looks like dark circles and a tired appearance. Tear trough filler adds a little volume to that groove so the lower eyelid and cheek blend more smoothly. Because every face is different, the amount and placement are tailored to your own facial structure for a natural-looking, refreshed result rather than a “filled” look.
Benefits of tear trough filler
- Instant results – brighter, more refreshed-looking eyes straight after treatment
- Minimally invasive – a few small injections, with no surgery, stitches or general anaesthetic
- Restores volume – fills under-eye hollows for a smoother look
- Softens dark circles – by reducing the shadow cast by the hollow
- Quick – 15–30 minutes
- Little downtime – back to normal activities almost immediately
- Adjustable – the result can be refreshed or adjusted as needed
Is tear trough filler right for me?
Tear trough filler is designed for hollows – volume loss under the eye. Fine, crêpey lines or thin under-eye skin are a different concern, and other treatments may suit them better. At consultation your doctor will look at what is causing your tired look and may suggest one of the alternatives below instead of, or as well as, filler:
- Dr Elif Wrinkle-Free Under Eye™ – our signature treatment for fine under-eye lines
- Polynucleotides – to improve dark, crêpey under-eye skin
- Cheek filler – support from the cheek can also improve the tear trough area
What to expect on the day
- Consultation: your doctor assesses the under-eye area together with the cheeks and agrees a plan tailored to your facial structure.
- Treatment: a small amount of hyaluronic acid filler is placed into the groove. The appointment takes 15–30 minutes.
- Afterwards: most people return to their normal activities almost immediately.
- Review: your aftercare is followed by your doctor, with a direct line to the clinic by WhatsApp or phone.
