Juvederm Voluma is an excellent filler to replace volume lost from the cheek and mid-face area. However, it is much too thick a product to use on the Tear Trough.

In the wrong hands the Tear Troughs can be a problematic area to treat. Tear Trough treatment is a particular interest area of mine and I believe that the secret to a successful result is to use the correct product, in the correct place, in the correct amount and importantly with the correct technique. Over-treatment is a concern in this area and I rarely use more than 0.5-1.0ml of filler in total, to treat both sides. It is one of those areas where it may be better to slightly under treat and review a few weeks later rather than risk adding too much volume. The Tear Trough is an unforgiving area and even a small amount too much will look obvious.

Having said that, Tear Troughs are a satisfying area to treat and are probably the only area of the face where a relatively small amount of filler can produce such a dramatic improvement.

From a product point of view I believe that for Tear Troughs it is difficult to beat the classic Restylane (not thicker products such as Restylane Perlane/Sub-Q)
I hope that this is of some help.

Best wishes,
