Our endoscopic tear trough correction technique delivers consistent, dramatic, and lasting results. These outcomes are supported by a rigorous clinical study and validated by real patient transformations.
All 32 patients achieved complete elimination of tear trough deformity.
All grafts remained stable throughout the 12-month follow-up period.
Excellent safety with minimal complications:
Results visible at 12 months remain stable and permanent.
Because autologous fat becomes naturally integrated into surrounding tissue, the results last indefinitely. Unlike injectable fillers that require repeat treatments, this one-time procedure provides permanent volume restoration.
Our study used the Barton tear trough rating scale to objectively measure results:
| Grade | Description | Outcome |
| 0 | Absence of lines or shadows; smooth, youthful contour | Target result |
| I | Mild shadow; smooth lateral transition | Pre-op (9 patients) |
| II | Moderate prominence of visible line | Pre-op (23 patients) |
| III | Severe demarcation with obvious step | Not treated (exclusion criteria) |
Postoperative Assessment: All 32 patients achieved Grade 0 at 12 months.
Even through the swelling, you’ll see:
As swelling begins to subside:
Most swelling has resolved:
Complete healing; maximum aesthetic benefit:
Synergistic benefits: lifted cheekbones further support tear trough correction
✓ Permanent results
✓ Natural tissue integration
✓ One-time procedure
✓ Scarless outcomes
✓ 100% success in our study
✓ No ongoing maintenance
✓ Long-term graft stability
In our clinical study:
Patients consistently reported:
You’ll see the most dramatic results if you have:
Results are more subtle (but still significant) if you have:
✓ Significant improvement in tear trough depth and visibility
✓ Smoother transition between eyelid and cheek
✓ Fuller, more youthful under-eye contour
✓ Brighter, more awake eye appearance
✓ Comprehensive mid-face rejuvenation (from simultaneous Trinity Lift) ✓ Permanent results requiring no maintenance
✗ Removal of fine lines or wrinkles (separate concern)
✗ Tightening of loose skin (may require additional procedures)
✗ Change in eye shape or size
✗ Results immediately—swelling must resolve first
✗ Tear trough correction without Trinity Lift—both procedures done simultaneously
Endoscopic tear trough correction is performed simultaneously with Trinity Lift (endoscopic mid-face lift) in a single comprehensive surgery. These procedures are inseparable—the tear trough correction technique requires the dissection and structural framework created by the Trinity Lift.
Why They’re Done Together:
Synergistic Result: Comprehensive facial rejuvenation addressing the entire mid-face and under-eye area. The lifted cheekbones provide permanent structural support that sustains tear trough correction and prevents future hollowing.
Real patient transformations from our clinical study demonstrate the consistent, dramatic improvement achieved with this technique.
We stand behind the results of endoscopic tear trough correction because our technique is evidence-based and refined over years of careful practice. Your surgical plan will be customized to your specific anatomy and goals.
