The tear trough, located between the cheek and lower eyelid, loses volume as we age, leading to dark circles, hollows, and bags under the eyes. This can make us look tired and older. Some people may have prominent tear troughs from a young age due to genetics, while others develop them over time as connective tissue weakens and fat loses its fullness.
An effective way to restore volume to the tear trough is through targeted injections of hyaluronic acid or autologous fat. This treatment rejuvenates the area, making patients look younger and more refreshed. At Traumpraxis am Alstertor in Hamburg, our specialists in plastic and aesthetic surgery use their extensive experience to deliver natural results. The procedure is painless, thanks to local anesthesia, and can last up to 18 months. For a longer-lasting result, surgical fat tissue transplantation is also available.
Dark circles and bags under the eyes result from sagging skin and bulging fatty tissue, a process exacerbated by aging, genetics, and an unhealthy lifestyle. Factors such as lack of sleep, stress, excessive UV exposure, and poor diet can worsen these conditions.
Augenringe und Tränensäcke entstehen häufig durch genetische Veranlagung und werden durch den natürlichen Alterungsprozess verstärkt. Erschlaffende Haut und Verlagerungen von Fettgewebe tragen zu ihrer Entstehung bei. Weitere Faktoren, die Augenringe verschlimmern können, sind unzureichender Schlaf, Stress, übermäßige UV-Bestrahlung sowie ein ungesunder Lebensstil, der Alkohol, Nikotin und eine unausgewogene Ernährung beinhaltet.
Hyaluronic fillers, which bind water in the skin, help maintain a wrinkle-free and firm appearance. The fillers are biodegradable and gradually absorbed by the body. At Traumpraxis, we use TEOSYAL REDENSITY II, a product specifically designed for the tear trough area. It causes minimal swelling and lasts between six and eighteen months, depending on individual factors like age, skin type, and lifestyle. For moderate to severe under-eye bags, surgical procedures may offer longer-lasting results.
The treatment begins with a photo for comparison, followed by an examination of the lower eyelids. After disinfecting the area and applying local anesthesia, a fine needle is used to inject the hyaluronic acid filler under the eyelid skin. The filler is then evenly distributed by massaging the area. The procedure takes about 15 minutes for both eyes. Initial results are visible immediately, though final results take 1-2 weeks.
Most patients can return to work immediately. Bruising and swelling may occur, lasting a few days and can be covered with makeup. Incorrect injections can lead to lumps or filler shifting, making it crucial to choose an experienced specialist for the procedure. Our specialists at Traumpraxis have the expertise to achieve natural-looking results.

A slight puncture is felt during the initial injection, along with a mild pressure sensation from the hyaluronic acid. However, the treatment is generally well-tolerated.
Hyaluronic acid injections are ideal for smoothing depressions in the lower eye area and can slightly adjust bags under the eyes. For more significant cases, surgical procedures may be recommended.
If you're not satisfied with the final result after a few weeks, hyaluronic acid can be dissolved with an injection of hyaluronidase, restoring your normal appearance within 24 hours.
The cost of the treatment starts from €159*.
