The area between the lower eyelid and upper cheek—commonly called the tear-trough region—is naturally delicate.
With time, reduced bone density, fat-pad descent and thinner skin can create visible hollows or shadows.
Dr Allison carefully evaluates the under-eye and surrounding mid-face to understand each patient’s anatomy before recommending any non-surgical treatments.
Some non-surgical options for under-eye concerns may involve prescription-only medicines or medical devices. In accordance with TGA regulations, these are not advertised publicly and are only discussed privately during consultation

Areas Commonly Reviewed During Consultation
Hollowing
Hollowing beneath the eyes is a structural change that can occur with age or individual anatomy. Dr Allison assesses whether changes in support tissues, skin thickness, or shadowing contribute most to the presentation, then outlines suitable non-surgical approaches based on individual anatomy and medical suitability.
Dark Circles and Shadowing
Dark circles may result from vascular visibility, pigmentation, or surface hollowing. Dr Allison identifies the underlying cause and may discuss options addressing skin characteristics, hydration, and the structural factors contributing to shadowing.
Tissue Support and Structural Assessment
Ageing and genetics can affect cheek projection and the structural relationship between the cheek and lower eyelid. Non-surgical approaches to address changes in this region may be discussed at consultation, based on individual anatomy and medical suitability.
Texture and Fine Lines
The thin skin around the eyes is prone to creasing and textural change. Non-surgical treatments addressing hydration and skin characteristics in this area may be discussed at consultation based on individual suitability. Individual results vary.
