Restore youthful vitality to your eyes with professional tear trough filler treatment at Āatma Aesthetics. Located within Icon Outlet at The O2, our clinic offers this advanced under-eye enhancement technique administered by Dr. Shaan Patel, combining medical expertise with London's most convenient location.
Tear trough fillers address the hollowing and shadowing that creates a tired appearance around the eyes, restoring natural volume and smoothness to achieve a refreshed, well-rested look. This sophisticated treatment requires extensive anatomical knowledge and precise technique, making Dr. Shaan's medical background essential for safe, effective results.
Whether you're experiencing early under-eye changes or more established tired eye appearance, our tear trough treatment provides natural-looking enhancement that integrates beautifully with complementary treatments like Profhilo skin remodelling and anti-wrinkle injections for comprehensive eye area rejuvenation.
Understanding Tear Trough Anatomy and Aging
What Are Tear Troughs?
Tear troughs are the natural depressions that run from the inner corner of the eye toward the cheek, becoming more prominent with age as facial volume decreases and skin loses elasticity.
Anatomical Structure:
- Natural Depression: Groove between lower eyelid and upper cheek area
- Orbital Rim: Bony structure defining the eye socket boundary
- Fat Pad Changes: Age-related shifting and reduction of supporting facial fat
- Skin Thinning: Delicate under-eye skin becoming more translucent with age
- Muscle Changes: Weakening of supporting structures contributing to hollowing
Why Tear Troughs Become More Prominent:
- Volume Loss: Natural fat pad reduction creating deeper depressions
- Bone Remodeling: Subtle changes in facial bone structure affecting support
- Skin Changes: Loss of collagen and elastin reducing skin firmness
- Gravity Effects: Downward tissue migration contributing to hollow appearance
- Genetic Factors: Individual predisposition to under-eye aging patterns
The Impact of Prominent Tear Troughs
Prominent tear troughs create multiple aesthetic concerns that can significantly impact your overall facial appearance and how others perceive your energy and health.
Common Concerns:
- Tired Appearance: Deep shadows creating appearance of chronic fatigue
- Dark Circle Enhancement: Hollowing emphasising any natural pigmentation differences
- Aged Look: Premature aging appearance regardless of actual age
- Makeup Challenges: Difficulty concealing shadows and achieving smooth under-eye makeup
- Photographic Issues: Prominent shadows in photos and professional images
Psychological Impact: Many patients report feeling self-conscious about their under-eye appearance, with others frequently commenting that they look tired even when well-rested, affecting confidence in professional and social situations.
