The lower lid cheek junction is a complex region. Patients are concerned about contour deformities of the lower eyelid and the cheek, but the causes of these issues are found in the underlying anatomy.

Configuration of the tear trough comes in 3 classes, each of which requires a different surgical treatment. Combined procedures on the lower lid and the cheek often result in the most significant improvement.
