Tear Trough Treatment and Sunken Eye Treatment

The area beneath the eyes, often referred to as the tear trough, is one of the first places to show signs of aging or fatigue. Sunken eyes, dark circles, or hollowing in this region can make you look tired, aged, or stressed—even when you feel great. Fortunately, there are effective treatments to restore volume, smoothness, and a refreshed appearance.

Dr. Robert Schwarcz, with offices on the Upper East Side of Manhattan in NYC and Rye, NY, specializes in tear trough and sunken eye treatments, offering personalized solutions to enhance your natural beauty.

What Causes Tear Trough Hollowing and Sunken Eyes?

Several factors can contribute to the appearance of sunken eyes and tear trough hollowing:

• Aging: Natural fat and collagen loss over time can lead to hollowing and shadowing.

• Genetics: Some individuals are predisposed to a more pronounced tear trough area.

• Lifestyle Factors: Stress, lack of sleep, or dehydration can exacerbate the appearance.

Treatment Options for Tear Troughs and Sunken Eyes

  • Immediate results with minimal downtime.

  • Reduces the appearance of dark circles and hollows.

  • Results typically last 6–12 months.
