Dermal Fillers

At Texas Eye Aesthetics, fillers are most commonly used to restore volume in the tear trough (under-eye) area, enhance and shape the lips, and add definition to the cheeks, jawline, and chin.

Depending on the product used and the treatment area, results typically last anywhere from six months to over a year. Areas with more movement, like the lips, tend to need touch-ups sooner than areas like the cheeks.

The tear trough is one of the more delicate areas to treat, which is why we recommend a provider with in-depth knowledge of the anatomy around the eyes. Dr. Gay's background as an oculoplastic surgeon is particularly relevant here, since this area sits close to structures that require careful, precise injection technique.

Most patients experience mild swelling or bruising at the injection site for a few days. Results are visible immediately, with any residual swelling settling within one to two weeks.

Filler is a non-surgical way to restore volume that's been lost with age, with no incisions and minimal downtime. It won't address loose or sagging skin the way a surgical procedure can — Dr. Gay can help you determine whether filler, surgery, or a combination best fits your goals.
