Is This The Tyndall Effect or a Healing Bruise Under Eyes? (photo)
I had Juvederm XC injected into my tear trough area for under eye hallows 5 weeks ago. I had a SEVERE bruise under my left eye and a smaller bruise under my right. I still have a dark tint under both eyes and appear to have two black eyes without makeup. Does this look like the Tyndall effect or are the bruises still healing? The dr. Said he injected very deep so I should not end up with this effect. Would love others opinions based on my pictures. THanks

Discoloration from Juvederm
Those appear to be bruises, thankfully, I'd say. The Tyndall effect is a translucent, bluish discoloration, not usually brown discoloration. If you had it injected deeply, underlying bruises can take a great deal of time to go away - months even. I am curious to know if your injector used lidocaine with epi prior to your injections. I have found that in thinner skinned areas, like under the eyes, this helps prevent or at least minimize this type of bruising tremendously.

Bruise or tyndall
From what I can see this looks more like a resolving bruise. Tyndall would be a gray/blue or purplish color. this looks more brown to me in the photo. Give it some time.

Bruising or Tyndall effect after Juvederm
From the photos you have submitted, it does just look like bruising that is resolving and not the Tyndall effect. The Tyndall effect is more of a blue tinge right underneath the skin.

Tyndall or "blue-ing" can occur with some fillers.
The first picture looks like a bruise (was this taken earlier?). After 5 weeks one would not expect to still see a bruise. Judging from the second and third photos I vote for Tyndall effect (which is actually a bluish color under the skin due to light reflecting over the filler). Hyaluronic acid fillers like Juvederm are famous for this, especially under the eyes. It can occur with deep placement because the skin is so thin under the eyes. Check with your doctor...

Tyndall Effect vs Bruising after Juvederm Injection
Thank you for the picture. The discoloration appears to be a bruise. The Tyndall effect is a blue/gray color secondary to light refraction from the Juvederm injected. This should resolve with time.

Bruising/Juvederm
If the product was injected deeper, than bruising is typical, especially inder the eye area. Avoid Vitamin E, fish oil and products containing Ibuprofen for 2 weeks prior to injectable treatments. Also, if the injector uses ice under the eye immediately after the treatment, it does help to avoid these bruises.

Juvederm and bruising
Thanks for the pictures. That looks like hemosiderin deposition which is a result of the bruising and not the Tyndall effect. It can take some time to go away, but it will. Some doctors believe Vit K creams can spped up the resolution. We have also had luck with the pulsed dye (Vbeam) laser. Best to you.

Bruise after injection
Tyndall effect is subtle blue hue from injection of the hyaluronic acid product too superficially. It looks like a bruise in the photo, and that may take several weeks to resolve.

Tyndall vs Bruise vs Hemosiderin stain
Hello,
Tyndall effect is very subtle and it deals with the light refraction of the injectable. Your photo is more likely either a bruise or a component of hemosiderin stain. A bruise should slowly be improving. At 5 weeks I am suspecting that hemosiderin stain may be a component. If no further improvement is seen in the next few weeks you may benefit from having that treated with V-beam on low setting.
All the best,
Dr Repta

Tyndall effect from Juvederm?
The left discoloration looks like a bruise. Tyndall effect is subtle, like a faint bluish cast. Injecting deep definitely reduces the chance of Tindall which increases if the original tissue is very thin and a relatively large amount was injected.

Tyndall Effect After Juvederm Under Your Eyes
It's difficult to tell from these photos. The left photo looks like a bruise and may have been right after your injections. The other two are too light to really see the color of the pigment. If your injector injected Juvederm deeply, chances are you will not see the Tyndall Effect. If you got severe bruising, it can take months for the hemosiderin ( pigment left over after acute bruise heals) to be reabsorbed. You should return to your injector. If...
