Can filler cause bulging eye veins and is this permanent or will it go away with time when filler dissipates?

Question

5 weeks ago I had voluma filler injected into my tear troughs. About two weeks later a giant vein started protruding from under my right eye. I also have some blurryiness w my vision but that could be dry eye. I went back to the nurse who injected me and she said this is just my anatomy and is part of me so it won’t go away. Weeks later it keeps getting worse and doesn’t improve. I never had this vein there before. Does anyone know what this could be? Am I botched for life?

This may be due to filler placement. It will gradually resolve or you can have the filler reversed. I recommend following up with your injector about your concerns. Hope this helps.

Hello and thank you for your question.  It may be that the filler has pushed the vessel closer to the surface of your skin which is making it more visible. If you are unhappy with your results, you can have your injector dissolve the filler with hyaluronidase which will likely resolve the issue.  As for your blurry vision, it is probably not due to the treatment you had done, however, you should have an opthamologist examine you for other possible issues.  Best of luck!

If you're unhappy with your final results, you can have it reversed with hyaluronidase and try a different technique next time. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for sharing your question and photograph.  Though the vein was there prior to your injections, the filler and swelling have caused it to appear more prominent.  If the appearance is too objectionable you can have your injector dissolve the product to restore your previous appearance.  Hope this helps.

The questions you have are valid. Before and after photos are needed. The nurse should have a supervising physician who will address your concerns within the next day or so. 
  
If that is not an option -Please seek out a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, Dermatologist, Facial ENT, Oculoplastic Surgeon or Certified Aesthetics Nurse Specialist (CANS) and ask questions, bring before and after photos and record of your treatment.
