EYELIDS · ILLUSTRATED 3D RECOVERY
Tear-Trough Filler: before & after and recovery stages
Follow early under-eye puffiness as a small added contour becomes easier to compare.
Also called under-eye filler
SUMMARY
What this example shows
Small added volume partially softens the same fictional hollow below each eye. The lower eyelid is not lifted or reduced, and eye color and pigmentation are unchanged. Early fullness can hide the subtle contour difference.
STAGE BY STAGE
Tear-Trough Filler recovery stages
Starting volume
The reference has no added filler volume or injection reaction.
The same face settings are used throughout the comparison.
1 hour after: Added volume
Added contour is already present beneath the early swelling and color.
Immediate-volume fillers differ from gradual collagen stimulators. One hour is an illustrative comparison point.
First day: Volume with swelling
More temporary fullness overlaps the same added contour in this example.
Swelling, redness and bruising can change after the injection.
Around 2 weeks: Volume after settling
Less swelling and color reveal the retained contour.
This comparison is not an individual recovery deadline or an assessment of filler placement.
TIMELINE
Day-by-day checkpoints in the 3D model
The simulator interpolates between these authored checkpoints. They describe the illustration, not measured clinical averages.
The same fictional hollow provides the starting reference beneath both stages. Added volume partly softens this hollow.
The added contour is present with a small early injection response.
Temporary fullness overlaps the added contour.
The example retains some swelling and discoloration.
Less temporary fullness exposes the illustrated shape.
A quieter surface is shown; this is not an individual recovery deadline.
Product, placement and individual response determine persistence.
INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES
How recovery can vary
Timing and response
This example adds volume to a hollow; it does not remove an eye bag or erase pigment. Under-eye anatomy and fluid retention affect the appearance.
Longer term
The quieter two-week view cannot establish suitability or exclude a complication. Persistent puffiness requires individual assessment.
