Hi Alice! I have the most dire under-eye folds and wrinkles which age me by about ten years (I’ve just turned 40). I’ve had one disastrous experience with tear trough fillers – since dissolved – but I don’t know what to turn to next to address them. I’ve come across all sorts of options, from Ultherapy and Plexr to Morpheus8 and blepharoplasty. I know the area under the eyes is very fragile and individual but the folds make me really self-conscious so I’d love your thoughts. I worry that even if I see a specialist practitioner, they’ll recommend whichever treatment they offer even if something else may be better. Thank you!

Hiya, TTG editor Georgia here. It might be worth booking a consultation with an oculoplastic surgeon who also performs non-invasive eye treatments because if this is really bothering you and you’ve already tried filler (and paid out again to have it dissolved), you might decide to invest in lower bleph surgery as it’s the most permanent solution and will ultimately give better results than anything non-surgical. Having said that, RF needling like Morpheus8 (there are many other devices that have their own merits) can be used right up to under the eyes and can work really well to tighten the area. There are also some new polynucleotide skin boosters for the under-eyes which will help smooth those folds and wrinkles and generally improve the look of the area.
