May 12th 2014 was the BIGGEST MISTAKE of my life. I had a so called plastic surgeon ( Chau ) inject Voluma in my tear throughs for dark circles. 2 years later i am still dealing with this permanent hemisideran staining this doctor left me with under my eyes! After going to 3 different Apple plastic surgeons, one being famous from you again, and having to travel to Nashville Tennessee to have a real specialized surgeon to use a Q switch laser to try to fix this fiasco!!! I look like i am still neat up. This doctor promise is a lot but does not deliver! I have been to other plastic surgeons in the outcome. I am not one to write a bad review and never have. Only for this 1:30. Please look at my other reviews on other doctors. Clearly this man's license should be pulled. If I could have seen him I would have but I did receive all my money back from my.! Send me an email if you want for the details I can tell you every step of the way and all the surgeon I had to try and fix this Fiasco from the so-called professional. Stay away do yourself a favor and seek someone else. Trust me you will be so much happier in the end. I have to live with this results for the rest of my life!!! He has left me deformed and trying to figure out a way to fix this problem two years later!

Did you ever start a lawsuit against the plastic surgeon? You should! You got to be reimbursed for all you did trying to fix it. Thanks for sharing your journey and overall, looking at the pictures, I think it is improving. Let's hope the filler is going away.

Did he also put filler around your mouth? You seem to have the same pattern that was injected into me three years ago in October, with no change whatsoever. I'm pretty much given up on this pretty myth that the junk is temporary. Maybe n some people.

Same!!! But with Sculptra and it's been two years and it's just getting worse :(

Hemosidern staining and laser in Nashville,TN
darkeyecirclesMay 22, 2016
Friday May 20 at N2 Skin in Nashville TN, I was referred to Doctor Bierman and Oclioplastic surgeon. I was blessed with a good price of 450.00 to have laser for my hemosidern staining from two years ago....they numb your eyes first,put a metal contact in your eye and the laser feels like a rubber band. It smelled a bit of burning hair. I was given acupher ointment to keep it moist. So far it seems to have worked at getting rid of the deepest stain . I have to wait ten days. This may be my miracle!!!

So glad to hear that you may have finally found something that works!!
Did the lump ever go away?? I'm in Nashville too and I have a lump in almost the same place as you!! Was the doctor you saw Biesman?? I see that you spelled it 2 different ways, Bergman and Beirman, but I think you must mean Dr. Biesman. He is an oculoplastic here in Nashville. How long are you here for?? Are you going to stay and continue with the laser treatments?? I hope you have a great result!!

Yes it was doctor Biesman! I must admit I almost did not do it. I was able to get rid of the lump with voluma using a disolvant. I was in Nashville last weekend. So far it looks a bit lighter. Doctor Biesman said I had severe hemosideran staining under the one eye. I will post a picture on Monday but honestly I still see the darkness but not as bad. I wish the night mare would finally end. The lump did dissolve with the injection. It took about three weeks for the lump to finally dissolve. If you have anything about eyes, I would highly recommend Doctor Biesman. He is amazing and so thorough. I am planning to go back to do more laser treatments with Biesman. I hope your lump dissolves. I say go to him and let him know you speak with me. :) I am emailing him some personal photos for a medical convention he is going to show the pictures at. (my staining is so bad they are going to be seen at a medical convention)
May 26, 2016
Wow that's great!! Yes I know Dr. Biesman and have been to him a few times. I'm so glad he was able to help you!! Are you continuing to see improvement each day??
May 30, 2016
Darkeye..it's kind of good for your staining problem that your photos will be used at the convention. Always good for a problem to get a lot of professional attention.
May 30, 2016
Darkeye.....In particular I think the photo on the right looks very normal, good, natural. Maybe now that you can smile.... :)

but what is the staining from? I know you had darkness under your eyes. is that from this staining you had the laser for? Is there a name for the procedure that treats this staining?
May 30, 2016
I had this done with a Ruby laser. Thats a GREAT price too. You may need to have this done more than once to get your optimal result. That metal orb on your eye is weird right? Im happy that you have had a great result.

MissV , did yours flake off? Mine did not flake at all. The laser was put on a 4. I think they used the Q Switch laser. Honestly I am ready for another treatment. How many treatments did you have MissV?
June 4, 2016
Q switch is a ruby laser. I had 4 treatments. Mine did turn very red under my eyes, browned, and then it resolved. Have you noticed any improvement. I don't know what number the machine was set at. I went to Dr Roy Geronemus, he invented most of these lasers in NYC. Google him. I was concerned that the skin under my eyes was so thin that if a mistake was made it would literally burn the skin straight away. I had no issues except for after treatment swelling, redness and then browning. It cost me $500 a treatment.
June 19, 2016
Dr. Geronemus is a long standing doctor (derm?) I Knew about from happy patients on the message boards from the 1990's that no longer exist. Is he still practicing?
June 4, 2016
Thanjks PhilaSkeptic. As of tonight the staining is a lot better, but still present. The only thing I wonder is if it will ever be truly gone. So far I think it is at least almost normal on my right eye. But the left is still dark.
Tabithanash: Yes Biesman seems super. I think I will use him for all my injection needs, etc. I am seeing a slow down on the improvement. But they said it can take 6 to 8 weeks to see the full outcome
Whats interesting is that restalyn was injected back in March, and no bruising, but still the staining. I am ready for round 2.................the worst part was wearing the metal contact in the eye. I pray anyone who has had this problem finds the help they need.
