Course Description

The tear trough region is one of the most difficult facial regions to address with soft tissue fillers. It is not because of the underlying vascularity or because of the proximity to the eye. But instead, it is difficult because of the complex layered anatomy of this region. Understanding the layered anatomy and its connection to the midface and lower eyelid can help to achieve better outcomes. In this video, various techniques utilizing both needles and cannulas are demonstrated focusing on anatomy and on the clinical outcome.

Learning Objectives

Identify key anatomical landmarks relevant to tear trough filler injections.

Locate appropriate dermal access points and injection planes for both needle and cannula techniques.

Describe correct advancement techniques for safer product delivery in the tear trough area.
