-
Subtle, natural results: When performed by an experienced injector like Dr. Hazen, the outcome is smooth and undetectable.
-
Long-lasting effects: Results typically last 6–12 months or longer, depending on the product and your individual response.
-
Improved self-confidence: A more rested, rejuvenated appearance can enhance your overall facial harmony and self-esteem.
What Are Under-Eye Fillers?
Under-eye fillers, also known as tear trough fillers, are injectable treatments designed to reduce the appearance of:
-
Dark circles
-
Hollow or sunken under-eyes
-
Fine lines and wrinkles
-
Shadowing that creates a tired appearance
The most commonly used fillers in this area are made from hyaluronic acid (HA) — a naturally occurring substance in the body that attracts moisture and provides volume. Fillers such as Restylane® EyeLight and Juvéderm® are specially formulated for use in the delicate under-eye region.
How Do Dermal Fillers Work Under the Eyes?
As we age, the area under the eyes begins to lose volume and elasticity. This volume loss exposes the underlying bone structure, resulting in dark shadows, hollowness, and a sunken appearance.
Under-eye fillers work by restoring lost volume with a gel-like substance that gently lifts the tissue beneath the eye. This reduces shadowing and smooths the transition between the lower eyelid and the upper cheek.
At Dr. Alexes Hazen’s NYC clinic, each treatment is carefully customized to your unique facial anatomy. She uses micro-cannulas or fine needles to inject the filler with precision and minimal discomfort, ensuring natural-looking, balanced results.
Why Choose Hyaluronic Acid Fillers?
Hyaluronic acid-based fillers are ideal for under-eye use because they are soft, reversible, and hydrating. Dr. Hazen often recommends:
-
Restylane® EyeLight: Specifically designed for the under-eye area, this filler provides natural correction for tear troughs without creating puffiness.
-
Juvéderm® Volbella: A smooth, lightweight filler perfect for delicate facial zones like the lips and under-eyes.
One major advantage of HA fillers is that they can be dissolved with an enzyme called hyaluronidase in the rare event of overfilling or complications. This safety net is especially important in a sensitive area like the under-eyes.
What to Expect During and After the Procedure
Your Consultation
At your first visit, Dr. Hazen will evaluate your concerns, discuss your aesthetic goals, and determine whether dermal fillers are the right solution for your under-eye area. Some patients may benefit more from surgical solutions like blepharoplasty, or from PRP therapy, depending on skin quality and anatomy.
The Injection Process
The under-eye filler treatment usually takes 20–30 minutes and involves:
-
Cleansing the area
-
Application of a topical numbing cream
-
Precise injection using a fine needle or cannula
-
Gentle massaging to distribute the filler evenly
Discomfort is minimal, and most patients describe the process as very tolerable.
Recovery
You may experience minor swelling, tenderness, or bruising for a few days, but these effects are usually mild and short-lived. Most patients return to work and normal activities immediately following treatment.
How Long Do Under-Eye Fillers Last?
Results vary based on the product used, your metabolism, and lifestyle, but on average, under-eye fillers last between 9 to 12 months. Some patients enjoy results for even longer, especially with proper skincare and follow-up treatments.
Dr. Hazen offers tailored maintenance plans to help you extend your results and ensure long-term satisfaction with your appearance.
Are Under-Eye Fillers Right for You?
Ideal candidates for under-eye dermal fillers in NYC are individuals who:
-
Have mild to moderate hollowing or dark circles under the eyes
-
Are in good overall health
-
Are not pregnant or breastfeeding
-
Understand that fillers are a temporary, non-surgical solution
-
Want to avoid the downtime associated with surgery
It’s important to note that under-eye puffiness caused by fat pads may not respond well to fillers. In such cases, Dr. Hazen may recommend surgical correction through eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) or alternative treatments like PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma).
Safety and Expertise Matter
The under-eye area is anatomically complex and delicate, which is why experience and precision are essential. Injecting fillers too superficially, or using the wrong type of filler, can result in:
-
Visible lumps or puffiness
-
Bluish discoloration (Tyndall effect)
-
Swelling or prolonged bruising
That’s why it’s critical to choose a board-certified expert like Dr. Alexes Hazen, who has extensive experience in facial anatomy, aesthetic balance, and advanced injection techniques.

Explore Other Under-Eye Rejuvenation Options
While dermal fillers under eyes are one of the most popular treatments in NYC, they are not the only option. Depending on your specific needs, Dr. Hazen may also recommend:
-
PRP Therapy: Uses your own blood-derived platelets to stimulate collagen production and improve skin quality.
-
Laser Treatments: Improve pigmentation and tighten the skin around the eyes.
-
Blepharoplasty: A surgical solution to remove excess fat or skin from the eyelids for a more permanent improvement.
During your consultation, Dr. Hazen will explore all available options with you to create a customized plan that fits your lifestyle and goals.
