This surgical solution treats hollowing, under-eye shadowing, lower eyelid retraction, bulging eyes, and negative vector anatomy. Dr. David Isaacs, our expert dual-fellowship trained oculofacial plastic surgeon, utilizes this technique to enhance both aesthetics and structural support, achieving lasting, natural-looking results.
Tear Trough Implant (Infraorbital Rim Implant)
Beverly Hills
Restore Structure to the Midface and Lower Eyelid
If you’ve ever struggled with deep hollows under the eyes, persistent dark circles, or bulging eyes despite fillers or other treatments, a tear trough implant Beverly Hills patients choose may be the long-term solution for you. Many patients who undergo this procedure have structural deficiencies, a negative vector orbit, or post-surgical volume loss that creates a tired or sunken appearance. For those with lower eyelid retraction, this implant can restore support to the under-eye and midface area.
A tear trough implant (infraorbital rim implant) is a medical-grade silicone implant that sits along the orbital rim, filling in the hollow space beneath the eye. Using 3D Accuscan technology, Dr. Isaacs creates and inserts a custom implant through a small incision hidden inside the lower eyelid or along the lash line, resulting in a natural-looking correction.
Tear Trough Implant (Infraorbital Rim Implant) Treats:
- Deep under-eye hollows and volume loss
- Persistent dark circles and shadowing
- Lower eyelid retraction and downward pulling
- Bulging or prominent eyes (proptosis)
- Negative vector orbit and poor midface support
- Post-blepharoplasty contour irregularities or hollowness

Dr. Isaacs’ Approach to Tear Trough Implant Surgery
Dr. Isaacs begins by carefully evaluating your facial structure, eye shape, and underlying anatomy to determine the ideal implant shape and position. If appropriate, he may use 3D Accuscan imaging to create a custom silicone implant that fits precisely along your infraorbital rim. During surgery, Dr. Isaacs makes a small incision inside the lower eyelid (transconjunctival approach) or just beneath the lash line to minimize visible scarring. The tear trough implant procedure in Beverly Hills is then carefully performed, with the implant positioned along the bone to restore volume and structural support beneath the eye.
The implant is then carefully inserted and positioned along the bone to restore volume and structural support beneath the eye. Dr. Isaacs ensures the implant is anchored securely and blends naturally with your facial contours. His meticulous technique avoids overcorrection while preserving the natural transition between the lower eyelid and cheek.

Tear Trough Implant (Infraorbital Rim Implant) FAQs
Am I a Good Candidate for a Tear Trough Implant?
You may be a strong candidate if you’ve had lower eyelid surgery and developed under-eye hollowness, have lower eyelid retraction, or a negative vector orbit that lacks midface support. Tear trough implants are also ideal for those with bulging or prominent eyes, as they help create a more balanced look. Dr. Isaacs will evaluate your anatomy and surgical history to determine if this procedure is right for you.
Will the Implant Look or Feel Unnatural?
No. When placed correctly, the implant blends seamlessly with your natural anatomy. Dr. Isaacs uses a custom 3D Accuscan implant to ensure a perfect fit. The silicone material is smooth and biocompatible, and once healed, you won’t be able to see or feel the implant.
What Is Recovery Like After Surgery?
Recovery is typically quick. You may experience some swelling or bruising for the first few days, but most patients return to work or light activity within one week. Dr. Isaacs provides detailed instructions and sees you regularly during follow-up to ensure optimal healing.
Can This Procedure Be Combined With Other Surgeries?
Yes. Tear trough implants are frequently performed in conjunction with lower blepharoplasty, skin pinch procedures, fat grafting, or CO2 laser resurfacing to achieve a more comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Combining procedures can improve both the functional support and aesthetic appearance of the lower eyelid and midface.
