Hi I'm just trying to educate myself on what went wrong with my filler. I had tear trough filler with revance. She inserted with both a cannula and needle. Where she did the needle lies my issue in my left eye. It kind of looks like I have a worm made of filler under my eye. I'm going back for a second "tweaking" tomorrow. Is this overfilled? Placed wrong? Aside from that, the darkness under my eyes is significantly better. Also had terrible Syringoma treated with Morpheus8 - which helped.

Answer: Tear Trough filler Hi @Fantastic1831. The filler was not placed in the proper tissue plane. Most facial filler products that are injected into this area should ideally be placed in the tissue plane directly on top of the bone, or at least underneath the eyelid muscle layer. If a facial filler product is placed too superficial in the skin, or on top of the muscle layer, the product may settle in with an abnormal appearance and can look to be lumpy, swollen, or irregular. Hyaluronic acid facial filler products that were previously injected into an improper tissue plane can be dissolved by hyaluronidase injections. Best of luck, Dr. Nima

Answer: Undereye filler Undereye fillers are the perfect solution for undereye hollowness when your skin is nice and tight. As we get older and our production of collagen and elastin decreases it's time to use additional modalities like IPL and Morpheus to tighten the skin under the eyes. If you are further along with thin skin and undereye bags or hollowness it may be time for a small office procedure called blepharoplasty. My recommendation is to go back to your doctor and inquire about a small injection of hyaluronidase to open up the filler placed under the eyes spread the filler and start working on tightening the skin. The situation is salvageable.
