Midface Lift-TearTrough
You slept eight hours, drank your water, and still look exhausted. Why?
It's not your routine — it's the hollow under your eyes. Let's talk about what's actually casting that shadow, and how a 45-minute procedure can soften it.
What is tear trough correction?
The tear trough is the natural groove between your lower eyelid and upper cheek. As we age, the soft tissue here thins while the bone structure underneath becomes more apparent — creating a hollow and a shadow that sleep alone can't fix.
A Visible Hollow
A depression directly under the eye that catches shadow all day.
Persistent Tiredness
You look fatigued even on days you feel completely fine.
A "Resting Sad" Look
The hollow changes your whole expression at rest.
Good Health
Healthy adults aged 28-65 with realistic expectations.
How the procedure works
Performed under local anesthetic with a numbing solution — no general anesthesia required. Takes 30 to 60 minutes.
Cleanse & Numb
The area is cleaned and numbed with topical anesthetic plus a local injection.
Place Filler Deep
Hyaluronic acid is placed deep in the trough using a fine cannula — never on the surface.
Microdroplets
Volume is built gradually to avoid the puffy, overfilled look.
Settle & Compress
Gentle massage smooths the contour; a cold compress calms the area.
"The goal is to soften the shadow, not stack volume on top. People should notice you look rested — not that you had anything done."

Hangzhou: recover, then take in the view
Most patients feel well enough to head out by day 2-3. A gentle walk along West Lake is the perfect first outing.
Authentic Hangzhou cuisine as you heal
Hangzhou's cuisine is famously gentle on the stomach — braised pork in sweet soy broth, West Lake vinegar fish, and soft bamboo shoot soups are all mild, flavorful, and easy to eat while you're recovering. We take you to a local lakeside restaurant with views over the water, no tourist markup, no rushed service. It's the perfect slow first meal out as you start to feel like exploring again.
