Tear Troughs
Restore volume and soften under-eye hollowing.
Why Do My Eyes Look Sunken or Hollow?
If your under-eye area looks hollow, shadowed, or tired—even when you’re well-rested—you may be noticing changes in the tear trough.
The tear trough is the groove that runs from the inner corner of the eye down toward the cheek. As volume is lost over time, this area can appear deeper, creating shadows that make the eyes look fatigued or aged.
At Restore My Glow in Robina on the Gold Coast, we take a personalised approach to restoring volume beneath the eyes—focusing on subtle, natural-looking results.
What Is the Tear Trough?
The tear trough is a natural anatomical hollow beneath the eye.
In a youthful face, this area is smooth and blends seamlessly into the cheek. Over time, changes in volume, skin quality, and facial structure can make this hollow more visible.
This can lead to:
A sunken or hollow appearance
Shadowing beneath the eyes
A tired or drawn look
What Causes Tear Trough Hollowing?
Tear trough hollowing typically develops due to a combination of factors, including:
Age-related volume loss
Thinning skin and collagen decline
Loss of support in the mid-face
Genetics and natural facial structure
These changes can create shadows that are often mistaken for dark circles.
Tear Trough vs Under Eye Bags
It’s common to confuse tear trough hollowing with under-eye bags, but they are different concerns.
Tear trough hollowing = a sunken or shadowed appearance
Under-eye bags = puffiness or fullness beneath the eyes
In some patients, both may be present.
A detailed facial assessment is essential to determine the most appropriate treatment.
Can Tear Trough Hollowing Be Treated?
Yes—tear trough hollowing can often be improved with carefully performed, non-surgical treatment.
The goal is not to “fill” the area excessively, but to restore subtle support and create a smooth transition between the lower eyelid and cheek.
At Restore My Glow, treatments are tailored to your anatomy to ensure natural, balanced results.
Tear Trough Treatment
Tear trough treatment involves placing a soft volumising product in precise areas beneath the eyes to:
Restore lost volume
Reduce shadowing
Smooth the under-eye contour
Create a more refreshed appearance
When performed correctly, results are subtle and refined—helping you look less tired without looking overdone.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
You may be suitable for tear trough treatment if you have:
Hollowing beneath the eyes
A sunken or tired appearance
Shadowing that worsens in certain lighting
Good skin quality with minimal puffiness
Patients with significant under-eye bags or skin laxity may require alternative approaches and alternative treatments options will be discussed at the time of your consultation.
When Tear Trough Treatment May Not Be Suitable
This treatment is not appropriate for everyone.
You may not be an ideal candidate if you have:
Prominent under-eye bags
Significant skin laxity
Fluid retention or puffiness
Very thin or fragile skin
In these cases, we will recommend the most appropriate alternative or refer if needed.
