Does my filler in the eye area look misplaced? (Photo)

Question

Got my yearly filler n this time i had dips in the outer corners of my eyes that were really deep, Does the filler Look misplaced or is it just swelling? It seemed to be fine the day after and Then got a bruise and now it seems to be yellow and blueish tinted and seems to be a lump. I just had it done last Thursday, is this normal or not? The injector used juvaderm because restalyne never takes to tear troughs n never had a problem with Tyndall effect or with lumps in the area.

Juvederm is not ideal in the tear trough area as it does result in significant swelling. Injections in the tear trough area should be on bone and of small volume. Please go back to your doc and have hyalase injected to dissolve the filler.

Thanks for your question, At this point it is hard to tell , if it is swelling or your results, swelling can last up to 10 days to 2 weeks. Give it time to settle down, If you are unhappy with the results, it can always be removed with hyaluronidase. Follow up with your injector or doctor.

You most likely have swelling which can last 1-2 weeks after your injections. If you're unhappy with your final results, you can have it reversed with hyaluronidase and try a different technique next time. I recommend injections with cannulas to avoid complications. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for your question and for sharing photographs. Unfortunately, Juvederm is not the appropriate filler for the tear trough area. It will result in persistent swelling under the eyes because of the high water binding capacity. However, this can be resolved by using an enzyme known as hyaluronidase to help dissolve the filler. I recommend you see an expert and if ever you want to get your tear trough re-injected, Restylane would be the best option. Good Luck!
