Immediate Effects
First 24 Hours
Immediately following tear trough filler injections, you may experience some minor swelling, redness, and bruising at the injection site. This is a normal reaction to any injection and typically resolves within a few hours.
Within the first 24 hours, these initial effects might persist but should gradually subside. You may notice a slight firmness or lumpiness in the treated area as the filler settles into place. This is also temporary and will typically soften over the next few days.
Some patients experience temporary sensitivity to touch or pressure around the injection site. Applying ice packs for short periods can help reduce swelling and discomfort.
Avoid strenuous activity, excessive rubbing, or touching the treated area for at least 24 hours. It’s also important to avoid makeup application for a minimum of six hours after the procedure to allow the skin to heal properly.
Sleeping with your head elevated can help minimize swelling and promote drainage.
Remember that everyone’s healing process is unique, so results may vary. It typically takes several days for the majority of swelling to subside and for the final outcome to become apparent.
First Few Days
Immediate effects after tear trough filler injection are generally noticeable right away.
Swelling, which is a normal part of the healing process, usually begins within a few hours and peaks around 24-48 hours post-treatment.
Some patients may experience bruising at the injection sites, but this typically subsides within a week.
Within the first few days, the filler will gradually begin to settle into its intended position, smoothing out the under-eye hollows and enhancing the overall appearance of the tear trough area.
It’s important to note that individual healing times can vary.
Some people might see significant improvement within a few days, while others may take a bit longer for the swelling to subside and the filler to fully settle.
Subtle Swelling
1-2 Weeks
Subtle swelling following tear trough filler treatment is common and typically subsides within a week or two. It’s caused by inflammation at the injection site as your body naturally responds to the hyaluronic acid filler.
During the first few days, you might notice noticeable puffiness under your eyes. This usually peaks around day 2 or 3 and then gradually decreases.
By day 7, most patients experience a significant reduction in swelling. Some residual puffiness may persist for another week as the final stages of healing occur.

Factors that can influence swelling duration include:
• The amount of filler injected
• Individual healing rate
• Lifestyle factors (e.g., hydration, diet, sleep)
• Technique used by the injector.
It’s important to avoid strenuous activity, excessive sun exposure, and heat for the first few days after treatment to minimize swelling.
Applying a cool compress can also help reduce puffiness.
Remember that bruising is another common side effect, which typically resolves within 7-10 days.
Final Results
2-3 Weeks
Two to three weeks after receiving tear trough filler, you can typically expect to see the **final results**.
During this period, the filler gradually settles into its final position and your body naturally adjusts to its presence.
Here’s a breakdown of what you might experience during these two to three weeks:
- Initial Swelling and Bruising: It’s common to experience some swelling, bruising, and tenderness immediately after the procedure. These side effects usually subside within a few days.
- Gradual Softening:
- Contour Refinement:**
- Final Results:
The filler may appear slightly firm in the first week, but it will gradually soften as it integrates with your tissues.
As the swelling diminishes, you’ll start to see the true shape of the filler and how it enhances your tear trough area.
By two to three weeks post-treatment, the majority of the swelling should have subsided, revealing the final outcome of your tear trough filler.
It’s important to note that individual results may vary depending on factors such as:
* **The type of filler used:** Different fillers have different settling times.
* The amount of filler injected: Larger volumes of filler may take longer to settle.
*
Your body’s individual healing process.
If you have any concerns or questions about your results, be sure to consult with your injector.
Months Following Treatment
Final results after tear trough filler treatment typically take several weeks to fully settle, with most patients seeing optimal outcomes around 4-6 months.
Here’s a breakdown of what to expect during the healing and settling process:
- Immediately After Treatment: Slight swelling, bruising, and redness are common and usually subside within a few days.
- 1-2 Weeks: Swelling will significantly reduce, but some may still be present. The filler may appear slightly uneven or lumpy as it integrates with the tissues.
- 2-4 Weeks: Most swelling should have disappeared, and the treated area will start to look more natural.
- 4-6 Months: Final results are typically achieved at this point. The filler has completely settled into its desired position, and the tear troughs appear smoother and less prominent.
While 4-6 months mark the time frame for most patients to achieve final results, individual healing timelines can vary depending on factors such as:
- Age and skin elasticity
- Volume of filler used
- Individual metabolism and healing speed
- Lifestyle choices (e.g., smoking, alcohol consumption)
