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: Under eye filler From the submitted photos it appears the filler was placed too superficially. It also appears that in addition to loss of volume under the eye there is skin laxity. You are a good candidate for a lower blepharoplasty if you are considering surgical options. The results would be superior and longer lasting. I've included a video that I hope you find helpful.

Answer: Need to come in to consult For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan. It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Two problems I see two main problems here. It looks like the filler was placed too superficially, which is why you can see that "worm" of filler. The second problem is with the choice of undereye filler as a treatment. You have volume loss in your cheeks, which should be addressed before considering undereye filler (with either fillers or fat grafting), and your undereye anatomy looks like it would be more suited to a lower blepharoplasty than undereye filler based on the photos you have sent.

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.

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.
