Deep under-eye circles, dark circles, bags under the eyes, or wrinkles under the eyes can make the face look tired and older than its age, even with sufficient sleep. Tear trough filler injections are a popular option to brighten and rejuvenate the under-eye area without surgery. However, incorrect injections can lead to problems such as lumps, puffiness, or filler inclusions.
This article will help you understand everything about under-eye fillers, from the causes of the problem to the correct techniques and how to choose a reputable clinic.

Why do my under-eyes look tired? The real causes of deep under-eye wrinkles.
✅ Sub-Orbicularis Oculi Fat (SOOF) and Deep Medial Cheek Fat (DMF) under the eyes make the area under the eyes appear sunken and create dark shadows.
✅ Sunken temples and cheekbones (T1, CK1 – Zygomatic Ligament & Arch) leave the skin under the eyes without structural support.
✅ Gravity causes cheeks to sag (Lateral Lifting), resulting in more prominent under-eye grooves.
✅ The bones under the eyes shrink with age, causing the skin under the eyes to sag.
Proper under-eye filler injections must address the root cause of the problem, not just inject into the under-eye grooves!
⸻
⚠️ Why can incorrect under-eye filler injections make you look worse?
❌ Injected too shallowly → Under-eye swelling or a bluish tint (Tyndall Effect)
❌ Using filler that is too viscous → The filler clumps and does not distribute evenly.
❌ Injecting into the wrong skin layer → Filler migrates to the wrong location, making the under-eye area look strangely puffy.
❌ Filling under the eyes without filling in supporting areas → Under-eye area looks puffy, swollen, and unnatural.
The correct way to correct under-eye circles is to start by injecting filler into the deeper layers of the skin to achieve a natural and smooth result.

The correct technique for injecting filler under the eyes (correcting facial structure).
✅ 1️⃣ Fill in the underlying support structure first (addressing the root cause).
✔ Injected into the temples (T1 – Temporal Area) to restore facial balance.
✔ Injecting into the cheekbones (CK1 – Zygomatic Ligament & Arch) to help lift and tighten the cheeks, reducing the tension that makes under-eye wrinkles more prominent.
✔ Deep cheek fat grafting (DMF) and SOOF are used to support the under-eye area and prevent filler migration.
✅ 2️⃣ Precisely inject filler under the eyes.
✔ Use a blunt needle (cannula) to minimize bruising and distribute the filler smoothly.
✔ Deep periosteal plane injection to reduce the risk of lumps and masses.
✔ Choose a filler that is suitable for the under-eye area, one that is soft and does not cause the Tyndall Effect.
✅ 3️⃣ Inject for touch-ups on the top (if necessary).
✔ Inject a small amount of superficial filler (using Skinvive or Fine Line) to make the under-eye area look smoother.
This technique helps the under-eye area look smooth and natural, without puffiness or lumps, and effectively addresses deep under-eye circles.
