It’s not lightening up and I am really concerned it’s not going to get better. Is there anything that can be done to fix it? The PA gave me HQ5 telling me it would get better if I use it everyday but I’m not sure if that’s necessarily true. Please someone help cause I feel it was a waste of time and money cause I never gotten the results I wanted.

Answer: TYNDALL EFFECT Looking at your photos, more than a bruising, seems that you have a Tyndall effect from the filler, you can see a small bump with light discoloration. If the injection is recent, like less than 2 weeks, you can just wait a couple of weeks to see if it goes down, if is more than a month from the injection, the best will be to inject some hyaluronidase so the filler goes away and also the Tyndall effect.

Answer: Under Eye Filler I do a great deal of under eye injections in this delicate area. It appears from the photos that you have the Tyndall effect from the fillers that is making your under eye area appear dark. I would consider having the product dissolved since bleaching creams won't lighten it up. Please consult an expert in under eye fillers for the best cosmetic results. Best, Dr. Green

Answer: Bruising and shadow under eyes after Belotero Without seeing the before photo, it is hard to tell if the darkness is caused by a remaining bruise or it is a shadow from over filling. If it is a bruise, then treatments with MP2 (or magnetic pulse) with Venus Versa and Arnica cream can help. If it is a shadow from overfilling, then I would recommend for you to get the filler reversed and start over. Typically, Belotero has very low to no risks of the bluish Tindell effect so it doesn't appear to be the product causing the discoloration.

Answer: Belotero causing dark areas under eyes There are a couple of reasons you could get dark circles after filler. Hyaluronic acid fillers can cause what is called a Tindell effect in thin skin, where the filler reflects blue light and looks like a bruise. If that is the case, you would have to dissolve the filler to see if the dark circle goes away. The other effect is caused by blood under the skin leaving hemoglobin breakdown products called hemosiderin. These often lighten up over time as the body breaks them down. Lasers can be used to improve this kind of discoloration, but it is a tricky place to use a laser because it is so close to the eye. Topical lightening agents can also help. My first treatment choice would be to dissolve the product and see where you are after it is gone. As always, it helps immensely to have good before/after photos for your injector to see so they can determine the cause of the problem. Good luck! -Dr. Jenny
