The tear trough is the first zone to create a tired-looking gaze — deeper than the cheek, with a bluish shadow no concealer covers permanently. Dr. Fetai corrects it with an ultra-thin cannula and minimal hyaluron: subtly, naturally, without swelling the next day.

"Tear trough filler lasts forever."
In this quiet zone hyaluron often lasts 18-24 months.
"Eye rings are fatigue — sleep helps."
Only partially. With anatomical tear trough no amount of sleep helps.
"If something goes wrong it's permanent."
Hyaluron is always dissolvable with hyaluronidase.
With anatomical depression: clear improvement.
With correct technique minimal.
Per side: 0.15-0.3 ml MAXIMUM.
Yes — immediately visible.
500-700 € for both sides.
Tear trough is the anatomically most complex filler region.
The tear-trough ligament is a tight connective tissue anchor. Creates the depression perceived as 'eye rings'. Filler must be placed under this band.
Hirmand · Tear Trough AnatomyIf hyaluron is placed too superficially, a bluish shimmer arises (Tyndall effect). Only deep subperiosteal injection.
Tyndall Effect PreventionPatients with festoons (cheek edema bags) are no good candidates — hyaluron worsens swelling.
Festoon Recognition Studies"I reject about 1 of 4 tear-trough requests. Because the anatomy doesn't fit. Honesty over selling — that's my line."
This region separates the precise specialist from the routine practitioner.
The brain decides in under 200 ms whether you look 'awake' or 'exhausted' — based on this exact zone.
Dr. Fetai refuses about 1 in 4 tear trough requests. That's not a sales brake — it's patient protection.
"No one noticed — but everyone says I look rested."
Dr. Fetai checks whether you are the right candidate. Festoons? Very thin skin? Pigment under-eye? 1 in 4 patients is honestly turned away. Not a sales brake, but responsibility.
Very gentle cream for 10 min. Under-eye skin is the thinnest on the body — we work with maximum care.
With blunt micro-cannula, deep subperiosteal (at the bone). Never superficial (Tyndall effect risk). Dose: typically 0.15 ml per side — maximum. More is not better, more is dangerous.
Immediately visible — more awake gaze. For thin skin we wait 2 weeks for micro-swelling resorption.
No sport 24 h, sleep slightly elevated, no eye rubbing. 18–24 months effect (longer than other regions, because mimic there is minimal).
"The tear trough is the royal discipline of injection."
