%X Under eyelid bags and tear troughs are the two most common concerns for the patients coming to an aesthetic center, and specially their correction without undergoing a surgery. Efficacy of hyaluronic acid fillers has been proven successfully in correction of periorbital volume loss but no reports have been published for their role in concealing infraorbital fat pads. Hence, the effectiveness and safety of hyaluronic acid filler in treatment and correction of tear troughs thereby concealing under eyelid bags are being reported in this article. A 43-year-old woman who presented with grade 3 tear troughs and bulged out infraorbital fat pads underwent a single treatment session with 1ml 15mg/mL cross-linked hyaluronic acid filler (Juvederm Volbella®). Assessment of the periorbital area was done immediately after the procedure and after 3 days. Hyaluronic acid filler injection not only showed significant improvement in periorbital hollowness but also concealed the bulge of infraorbital fat pads remarkably. Correction of tear troughs is known to be done with the help of hyaluronic acid but it can also become an excellent alternative to surgery for concealing under eye orbital fat pads without any formation of lumps and irregularity.
