Tear Trough Filler Singapore | Frances Medical & Aesthetic Clinic

What is Tear Trough Filler?

Precision, suited to delicate skin.

Tear trough filler is a specialised hyaluronic acid technique used specifically for the hollow beneath the eye, where shadowing can contribute to a tired or hollowed appearance regardless of how much sleep you've had. Because the skin in this area is exceptionally thin, it calls for a conservative, highly skilled approach and a doctor with detailed knowledge of the surrounding anatomy.

Dr Gerald Tan assesses the depth and cause of shadowing in this area at consultation, as tear trough concerns can stem from several different underlying factors, before recommending whether — and how conservatively — to proceed.

How it works

A conservative, layer-by-layer approach.

Dr Gerald Tan examines the under-eye area closely, considering skin thickness, existing volume and the underlying bony structure before determining a conservative treatment plan. A small amount of hyaluronic acid filler suited to this delicate zone is then placed carefully to soften shadowing, with a preference for gradual, measured correction over the thin skin of this area rather than a single large-volume treatment.

Good to know

Frequently asked questions.

Is tear trough filler safe?

It is a doctor-administered procedure that requires particular care given the thin skin in this area. Dr Gerald Tan assesses your suitability individually and will discuss any risks specific to your anatomy before treatment.

Does it hurt?

Topical numbing is typically applied beforehand, and most patients tolerate the treatment well, describing mild pressure rather than significant pain.

What's the downtime?

Downtime is generally minimal, though this area can be more prone to mild bruising or swelling than other facial areas. This typically settles within one to two weeks.

When will I see results?

Softened shadowing is usually visible immediately, with any initial swelling settling over the following one to two weeks to reveal the fuller result.

How many sessions will I need?

Most patients achieve their desired result in a single, conservative session. Dr Tan will confirm a plan at consultation and may recommend a staged approach if appropriate.
