At Face Forward, patients receive expert treatment tailored to their unique needs for an overall refreshed and balanced appearance.
Smoother And Brighter
At our practice in Houston Tear Trough Implants are a specialized cosmetic procedure designed to address the appearance of deep hollows or depressions under the eyes, known as tear trough deformities. This treatment corrects undereye hollows by inserting biocompatible implants, typically made of silicone, into the tear trough area. These implants can provide a long-lasting correction for patients who experience undereye hollowness due to aging, genetics, or other factors.
Tear Trough Implants and dermal fillers both address undereye hollows but work in different ways. Tear Trough Implants are a surgical strategy involving permanent implants placed in the area under the eye. In contrast, dermal fillers are non-surgical, using injectable substances such as hyaluronic acid for temporary volume enhancement. While fillers offer a less invasive, reversible option with minimal downtime, implants provide a permanent, highly customizable fix.
By providing a permanent and natural-looking solution to undereye hollowness, this treatment helps patients regain confidence and feel more satisfied with their overall look. With Tear Trough Implants Houston patients can rejuvenate the lower eyelid area, creating a youthful, refreshed appearance. Our Tear Trough Implant patients can see:
Perfect For Your Goals
Ideal candidates for Tear Trough Implants are those with pronounced undereye hollows or dark circles who are looking for a permanent solution. Tear Trough Implant candidates are generally healthy, non-smokers, and have realistic expectations for the likely outcome of the procedure. Patients with allergies to implant materials, active skin infections, or certain health conditions like uncontrolled diabetes are not great candidates for this procedure.
Discover Long Lasting Youthfulness
During a consultation for Tear Trough Implants Houston patients can expect a thorough assessment of their medical history and facial anatomy, along with a detailed discussion of your concerns and aesthetic goals. Dr. Rodman will explain the surgical process, expected outcomes, and potential risks and provide a comprehensive treatment plan. To prepare for treatment, patients should follow preoperative instructions, including avoiding certain medications, lifestyle adjustments such as quitting smoking and maintaining a healthy diet, and making logistical arrangements for transportation and postoperative care.
Precision Procedure, Personalized Care
This procedure is done under sedation or general anesthesia in an operating room. Small incisions are carefully made inside the lower eyelid and a pocket in the tear trough area will be made to delicately insert the customized Tear Trough Implant. Because the incision is inside the lower eyelid, there is no scar!
Tear Trough Implant Results
Houston Tear Trough Implant patients will see an immediate change in the volume of the upper cheek and under eye area immediately after the procedure, but the full result will be hidden by swelling. The area is swollen for the first few days after the procedure. It takes one to two weeks after surgery for the majority of the swelling to go down. Final results will appear in six to nine months.
Patients may experience some swelling or bruising right after Tear Trough Implant surgery, but this should resolve within a few days. It's important to follow all postoperative care instructions provided by your surgeon, including guidelines for managing complications, avoiding strenuous activities, and attending follow-up appointments.

Since very discreet incisions are made and there is very little tissue manipulation, this procedure is typically very low pain, and patients consider it very tolerable. Patients may experience a sensation of tightness and may see swelling around the eyes after the procedure.
While risks are rare with a skilled surgeon, with any surgery, complications like bleeding, bruising, or infection are possible.
Tear Trough Implants are placed through an incision in the lower eyelid so there is no external scar. The procedure requires very minimal incisions, so unexpected scarring is very rare.
For most patients, Tear Trough Implants are a life-long solution.
The cost of Tear Trough Implants varies depending on the specific needs of each patient.
