Is the Blue Tinge Under my Eyes Still Bruising After Tear Trough Injections Under the Eyes 6 Weeks Ago?
6 weeks ago I had Juvaderm injected into my tear troughs by a board certified plastic surgeon. At a follow up appointment with him 2 weeks ago, he assured me that this was still bruising and to wait it out. At the 6 week mark I am getting very frustrated and now believe that this is actually the product that is leaving this blue shadow under both of my eyes. At this point, should I insist that he dissolve some of the product or should I give it more time?

Blue tinge under eyes from Juvederm
At 6 weeks post injection, I'd think you have the Tyndall Effect. A good injector should be able to decipher between the Tyndall Effect and a bruise at this point. Bruises have natural color derivations that happen over time, and blue/purple is really the beginning stage. At this point a bruise would be yellow or greenish. Blue tinges post Juvederm (at this point) are most likely the Juvederm injected too superficially. In all honesty, that's why I prefer Restylane under the eyes - much less...

Tyndall Effect or Bruising After Juvederm?
The Tyndall effect (bluish tinge seen from product injected superficially) and bruising are both possibilities. This is hard to evaluate without an exam. If this is product causing the effect, hyaluronidase injection is appropriate.

Juvederm Under the eyes
We prefer fat Grafting under the eyes to avoid the many complications described on this site. Having said that, be patient and our concerns will likely improve.
A number of 'soft tissue fillers' are available for temporarily improving facial areas that have lost volume, are naturally thin or hollow, or have developed noticeable and bothersome lines and creases. The most popular fillers currently are hyaluronic acid products like Juvederm® and Restylane® which can be used to, among...

Juvederm and Tyndall effect
You probably have a Tyndall effect from too superficial placement of the Juvederm. If your plastic surgeon does not want to try hyaluronidase, consider seeing another experienced injector. Juvederm may last for several years in the tear trough area. Restylane is a better option for this area.

Blue tinge under eyes after Juvederm 6 weeks ago
Juvederm is probably not the best product to use under eyes because of it's density and long lasting effect. It has been shown to create a tyndall effect if it is placed too superficially or under thin skin. You should probably have it removed with Hyaluronidase. If you want to replace it, it should be with Restylane or Belotero. These seem to work better in the tear trough area.

Juvederm under the eyes
Dear Gidget702,
I would see your injector to have the material dissolved
Sometimes when Juvederm is injected too close to the skin surface, it will absorb some water and cause bags to form
This can be a difficult problem to treat, so if you already see the Tyndall effect, I would dissolve the rest

Tyndall Effect
Hi Gidget. You have every right to be frustrated that the bluish appearance is still there after 6 weeks.
By the sounds of it, this is likely the Tyndall effect. You can differentiate between bruising and this effect in one other manner. Ask the injector if he/she injected above or below the muscle. If they injected above the muscle, it is most likely the Tyndall effect.
Even though your surgeon is board certified that does not make him or her a...

Juvederm bluish tinge
Its probably the Juvederm causing the bluish discoloration. I am not a huge fan of the under eye injections as I see this bluish/greenish tinge all the time, and its easy to reverse with hyaluronidase injections so that's the good news. You should speak to your doctor.
