Under-eye hollowing in Melbourne is assessed through an individual consultation examining tear trough anatomy, midface volume, and skin quality. Not all under-eye concerns are suitable for the same approach — assessment determines whether and how a concern can be addressed.
Frequently asked questions
What is a tear trough?
The tear trough is the groove or hollow that runs from the inner corner of the eye toward the outer cheek. It forms at the junction of the lower eyelid and the cheek and becomes more apparent when the fat or structural support beneath it reduces.
Can all under-eye hollowing be addressed at consultation?
No. Some presentations are not suitable for injectable assessment, and some require a different clinical approach. Individual assessment determines what is and is not appropriate for each patient’s specific anatomy and situation.
Is the assessment painful or invasive?
The consultation itself is a clinical discussion and physical assessment — it does not involve any treatment. It is not painful or invasive. Any treatment discussion only follows after the assessment is complete.
Does addressing the midface change the appearance of the tear trough?
In many cases, yes. The tear trough is anatomically connected to the midface. When cheek volume and support are addressed, the tear trough appearance often improves as a result — which is one reason why full-face assessment is more informative than a localised focus on one area.
How do I book an under-eye consultation at Core Aesthetics?
You can book a consultation through the booking link on this site. The consultation is conducted personally by Corey Anderson RN at the Oakleigh clinic.
What if I have had treatment for my tear trough elsewhere?
Prior treatment in the area is assessed as part of the consultation. Volume status, tissue characteristics, and the nature of any prior treatment all inform the assessment. In some cases the recommendation is to wait for prior treatment to resolve before proceeding.
Can Core Aesthetics help with concerns about prior under-eye treatment?
Yes. Corey Anderson assesses patients with concerns about prior treatment elsewhere. An assessment of the current state is completed before any plan is discussed. Reversal is available where appropriate.
