Does Anyone Know What Has Happened to my Tear Trough?! - London, UK

4 days ago had filler in my tear troughs. One is fine but my right eye has swollen - yellow discolouration of the skin (immediate) and puffy like a pillow - can't feel anything hard underneath. The inside ridge of the pillow almost has a flap where it has gotten so swollen. I don't know what filler was used - it was either Juvaderm or Restylane - just waiting to here back from the lady who performed the procedure (who I have to say has done this on me many times before without any issues at all!). One bruise to the side of the pouch and a couple of pin marks but nothing massive ............. can anyone think what could have happened? It feels slightly stingy. I look like a total freak and need this to go!!!

Sarahkpalmer, what are you trying to figure out how to do? Either leave a comment here or send me a private message and I'll help you out.
Here is a blog post on Belotero. We also have a community focused on the filler, which seems to often be used under the eyes. If it turns out this is what was actually used for you please let me know so I can move your review to the Belotero community.
Thank you so much for sharing this information Dr. Brader. To make sure I'm understanding correctly, it is your experience/understanding that more swelling is seen with Belotero than with other HA fillers such as Juvederm or Restylane, or would it be about the same for all HA fillers?
Thanks for letting us know which filler it turned out to be. I'm going to put your post into the Teosyal community.
Oh no :( I can definitely see what you are describing. Unfortunately I don't know what would have caused this, or what would help at this point. I would encourage you to post your picture in the Q&A section. That way the board certified doctors who volunteer on RealSelf can share their thoughts with you on it.
Please update us on how you are doing soon!
