Tear Trough Fillers in Gurgaon for Under Eye Hollows
You look tired even after a full night's sleep, and concealer only goes so far. It is not always the colour of your skin, it is often a hollow under the eye that casts a shadow. Tear trough filler can soften that hollow, but the under eye area is delicate, so our doctor first checks what is causing your dark circles, at our Sector 65 clinic in Gurugram.
In short
Tear trough filler, also called under eye filler, uses hyaluronic acid to soften under eye hollows and the shadows they cast. It suits dark circles caused by a hollow, not those caused by pigmentation, puffiness or thin skin. It is assessed and done by our doctor at House of Aetheria, Sector 65, Gurugram, and the filler can be dissolved if needed.

Under eye dark circles: hollow, pigment or thin skin?
Under eye dark circles have more than one cause, and filler helps only one of them. Treating the wrong cause wastes time and money, so the first step is working out which one you have.
- A hollow under the eye (the tear trough): volume loss casts a shadow, and filler can help
- Brown pigmentation in the skin itself: chemical peels or laser toning suit better
- Thin skin showing blood vessels beneath: a different approach is needed
- Puffiness and under eye bags: filler may make this worse, and a different plan is needed
One clue: if the darkness fades when light falls straight on the area, it is more likely a shadow from a hollow. Only an examination can confirm it.
The treatment
How tear trough filler works
Tear trough is the name of the groove that runs from the inner corner of the eye down towards the cheek. When it deepens, it creates the hollow. A small amount of hyaluronic acid filler is placed carefully to soften that groove and blend the lower eyelid into the cheek. The area is delicate, so it is done slowly, with small amounts.
Consultation
Your doctor examines the area, checks the cause of your dark circles and explains what filler can and cannot do.
Your plan
We decide whether filler is right for you, and how much to start with.
Treatment
Numbing cream is used for comfort, and the filler is placed in small amounts.
Follow-up
You are checked afterwards, and a top-up is possible if needed.
Who it suits
Under eye filler for dark circles: who it suits, and who it does not
Dark circles filler works best for people whose under eye shadow comes from a hollow. It is not the answer for everyone.
- It may suit you if the area looks sunken and the shadow changes with the light
- It may not suit you if the colour is brown or purple in all lights: see our laser toning and chemical peels
- It may not suit you if you have puffiness or loose skin: your doctor may suggest a different plan, or an eyelid surgery consultation
- If you are unsure, read our guide to filler and non-filler dark circle treatment
Honest expectations
Under eye filler before and after: what to expect
Some swelling or bruising is common for a few days, and the area settles over the following days and weeks. Most people return to normal activities quickly. How the result looks, and how long it lasts, varies from person to person, so your doctor will talk you through what is realistic for your face before anything is done.
Tell us about any medicines you take, allergies, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding before treatment.
Safety
Under eye filler side effects and risks
Common effects are swelling, bruising and tenderness. The under eye area is thin, so the filler can sometimes look lumpy or show a bluish tint, which is why technique and the choice of product matter. Rarely, filler can block a blood vessel, which needs urgent treatment. This is why the area should only be treated by a trained doctor. Hyaluronic acid filler can be dissolved if you are not happy with the result.
Cost
Under eye filler cost in Gurgaon: what decides it
There is no single price for under eye filler or tear trough filler, because the cost depends on how much filler your hollow needs, the product chosen and whether you need a follow-up top-up. Our doctor explains the cost at your consultation, after examining the area.
