Can blue tint under eye area be improved 4 years and 8 months after Juvederm? (Photo)

Question

2010 Juvederm in my under eye area for hollowness. In 2012 my Dr was not avail so I had restalyne in same area by a different Dr. I was not happy with results n went back to my original Dr a month later and he corrected it with juvederm. I have not had any filler in that area since then, but I still have blue ish tint due to juvederm After all this time would vitrase help my situation? Or am I stuck with this tint ? Also am I in need of more filler? Bc I am seeing some hollow

Hyaluronidase can be used to improve this. I suggest seeing a cosmetic dermatologist with expertise. In my practice we use a combination of lasers, fillers, microneedling/PRP to treat under the eye. Best, Dr. Emer.

J. Kevin Duplechain, MD, FACS · Answer

The blue tint  you refer to may be a Tyndall effect which is a light reflex related to hyaluronic acid being injected close the surface of the skin.  It is unusual for HA products to last this long, but it is possible.  Treatment options include dissolving the remaining  product with a hyaluronidase product, or utilizing a q switched laser to alter the coloration.

Thank you for posting your question. Vitrase can be used even years after filler has been injected. See an experienced eyelid specialist for your treatment in this delicate area.  Good luck,

Thanks for the question! Something we correct in our office occasionally and agree with my other colleagues. HA fillers can leave this effect, especially certain brands in specific areas and can last in the body for several years post-treatment. A little quick fix with hyaluronidase can get rid of your "blues" quickly and safely!

Peter J. Jenkin, MD, FAAD · Answer

I completely agree with Dr Weiner.  Juvederm seems to cause this more than the other fillers and I would treat the area with hyaluronidase and subsequently fill with Restylane.  Good luck.
