For patients seeking subtle rejuvenation under the eyes without surgery,
under eye filler (tear trough filler) presents an ideal solution.
Double board-certified facial plastic surgeon Dr. Nicholas Karter offers under eye filler at our Glastonbury, Connecticut, practice to help you look youthful and refreshed.
Under eye, or tear trough filler treatment, is a nonsurgical procedure that restores lost volume, smooths hollows, and reduces the appearance of dark circles beneath the eyes. Using hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers, we create a refreshed, well-rested look by artfully blending the under eye area with the cheeks. Dr. Karter uses a special “cannula technique” that enhances your comfort and results.
Dr. Karter is fellowship-trained, double board-certified facial plastic surgeon known for his exceptional results and patient-first philosophy. Learn what sets him apart below:
Unlike traditional needle injections, our elevated treatment method uses a blunt-tipped cannula, reducing discomfort, minimizing bruising, and improving precision. The high-quality HA fillers used for under eye rejuvenation add volume, hydrate the skin, and provide natural-looking results.
After applying a local numbing agent, Dr. Karter gently inserts the cannula, allowing for the precise placement of filler to smooth and brighten the under eye area. The results are immediate, with minimal downtime—leaving you looking naturally refreshed and rejuvenated.

Patients often benefit from combining their under eye fillers with treatments that enhance other prominent facial features.
The cost of tear trough filler in Connecticut varies depending on the type and amount of filler used and other individual factors. We can better understand your needs during your free phone consultation and give you an initial quote. For added convenience, we also accept financing through CareCredit®.
Typically, tear trough filler is best for patients experiencing hollowing under their eyes without the presence of under eye bags or puffiness. A thorough consultation with Dr. Karter is the best way to assess whether filler or lower eyelid surgery is right for you.
The results of under eye filler are visible immediately after treatment, so you’ll notice reduced hollows and a more refreshed appearance right away.
The most common risks after tear trough filler are bruising and swelling. However, Dr. Karter’s innovative cannula technique minimizes these side effects. In rare circumstances, patients may experience an allergic reaction, the Tyndall effect (bluish discoloration), or necrosis. A board-certified facial plastic surgeon performing or overseeing your injections is essential to your safety and results.
The longevity of tear trough filler treatment varies based on factors such as the type of filler used, your metabolism, and lifestyle habits. Generally, HA-based under eye fillers last between 9 and 18 months. To maintain your refreshed look, we recommend periodic touch-up treatments.
