Part 1
Tear Trough
As we age, the hyaluaronic acid in the skin diminishes as cells lose their ability to produce it. As a result, the skin becomes drier, thinner and less able to restore itself. The loss of skin fullness also means that the skin becomes looser. All of these factors contribute to volume deficit and dissatisfaction with the eyes – otherwise known as the tear trough.
The tear trough, also known as a nasojugal groove, extends from the inner corner of the eye, following a semicircular arc and transitioning to the palpebromalar groove. A deep tear trough can create a shadow that is perceived as a dark circle below the eye. It also creates a division between the lower eyelid and cheek that is an early sign of aging around the eyes.
Patients with deep tear troughs often complain that they look more tired and older than they really are.
Who is a candidate for tear trough filler?
Patients who are good candidates often complain of a ‘hollow look’ or dark circles under they eyes; they may also point out enlarging fat pockets in the lower eyelids. Selecting appropriate patients for tear trough treatment requires expert judgment. Excellent candidates have good skin elasticity and adequate skin thickness.
The position of the orbital rim to the tear trough is also an extremely important consideration. For these reasons, not everyone is a good candidate for treatment of the tear trough. However, Minela will do a an assessment and a recommended plan prior to administering the treatment.
The choice of filler for the tear trough
Restylane is an ideal filler choice for the tear trough for many reasons. It unique consistency creates a natural rejuvenation in the tear trough. It is also long-lasting, often greater than a year. And finally, since it is a hyaluronic acid filler, it can be broken down with hyaluronidase injection, if necessary. Belotero is another hyaluronic acid filler that can work well in the tear trough.
Unfortunately, not all fillers are well suited for the tear trough. Juvederm exerts a very hydrophilic plumping effect under the eyes, creating a very conspicuous ‘puffy’ look that can persist for several months. And while many injectors have tried filling the tear trough with collagen, Radiesse, Artefill, and even silicone, these other filler materials have been associated with unwanted side effects and poor cosmetic outcomes.
Do you use a cannula for under eye injections?
Patients often ask if we use a blunt cannula for the tear trough technique. The answer is yes. Minela is an expert in non surgical
Rejuvenation. Minela knows her planes of injections (superficial & deep) and feels confident in her abilities in such a delicate, challenging area. Minela does also use a needle a cannula when needed – she makes an educated decision based on the patients and their anatomy.

Cheek Filler
As you age, your facial skin begins to lose its elasticity and volume. The natural fat begins to deteriorate, resulting in loss of mid and lateral cheek volume, sagging skin, more prominent wrinkles and a reduction of volume.
Utilizing the following HA, we can restore the volume of the cheeks:
Restylane Lyft, formerly known as Perlane-L®, is an injectable hyaluronic acid gel used to correct volume loss and treat wrinkles in the cheeks and hands, lasting up to 12 months.
JUVÉDERM® VOLUMA™ XC injectable gel is for deep injection in the cheek area to correct age-related volume loss and for augmentation of the chin region to improve the chin profile, lasting up to 16 months.
Restylane Contour is the only cheek filler with XpresHAn Technology™ that restores your natural contour, frees dynamic expression, and refreshes your look.
Balancing the science and art of aesthetics, this unique injectable hyaluronic acid gel creates natural-looking, subtly rejuvenated cheeks that are reminiscent of your younger self, but true to what makes you beautiful today, lasting up to 12 months.
Through nonsurgical injections, These fillers are specifically designed to add fullness to the lateral cheeks and midface — to help complete your aesthetic look.
Experience & finesse
The importance on expertise
Minela is one of the most experienced injectors in Idaho, and tear trough filler treatments make up a large part of her fillers practice.
Filler treatments of the tear trough require a significant amount of skill and judgment. With poor judgment and unskilled technique, the complication rate is high and patient satisfaction is low.It is essential for patients to undergo treatment not only with an experienced injector, but also a practitioner skilled in tear trough treatments.
