Introduction

There are generally three techniques for tear trough filling: hyaluronic acid injection, collagen injection, and autologous fat transplantation. The corresponding prices are as follows: hyaluronic acid tear trough filling costs 1,000–10,000 yuan per session; collagen tear trough filling costs 1,000–10,000 yuan per session; and autologous fat tear trough filling costs 6,000–30,000 yuan per session.

Tear trough augmentation generally involves three techniques: hyaluronic acid injection, collagen injection, and autologous fat transplantation. The corresponding prices are: hyaluronic acid for tear troughs, 1,000–10,000 yuan per session; collagen for tear troughs, 1,000–10,000 yuan per session; autologous fat for tear troughs, 6,000–30,000 yuan per session. Factors influencing the cost of tear trough augmentation include the amount of filler used, the surgeon's qualifications, and regional differences.

Comparison of different tear trough augmentation methods and price references:

Comparison Item / Procedure	Hyaluronic Acid for Tear Troughs	Collagen for Tear Troughs	Autologous Fat for Tear Troughs
Reference Price	1,000–10,000 yuan per session	1,000–10,000 yuan per session	6,000–30,000 yuan per session
Principle	Injecting an appropriate amount of hyaluronic acid into the tear trough area increases tissue volume, smoothing out the depressed area.	Injecting collagen into the tear trough replenishes lost collagen in the skin and fills the depressed area.	Fat is harvested from areas of the body with abundant fat, processed, and healthy fat cells are then injected into the tear trough area.
Suitable Candidates	Ideal for individuals with tear trough depression and good skin elasticity.	Suitable for those with noticeable tear troughs accompanied by dry skin and fine lines.	Recommended for individuals with tear troughs who also wish to reshape fat in other parts of the body.
Recovery Period	1–4 weeks	1–4 weeks	1–3 months
Duration of Results	3–6 months	3–6 months	Long-lasting
Potential Risks	1. Allergic reactions 2. Vascular embolism	1. Allergic reactions 2. Risk of infection	1. Fat graft failure 2. Formation of fat nodules

Factors affecting price:

1. Amount of filler: More severe depressions require larger amounts of material, resulting in higher costs.

2. Surgeon’s qualifications: Surgeons with greater experience and skill typically charge higher fees.

3. Regional differences: Due to variations in economic development and living costs across regions, prices for tear trough augmentation vary. Prices in first-tier cities are generally higher than in second- and third-tier cities.

It is recommended to choose a reputable medical facility and an experienced doctor, and to carefully select the filling material. Postoperative care is important—keep the treated area clean and avoid pressure or impact. Potential postoperative risks include infection and allergic reactions; seek medical attention promptly if any abnormalities occur.
