Is this tyndall effect? (Photo)

Question

I got this bluish spot/line after my filler topup and it stays for about 2 months alreadt. I use juvederm all the time but after this topup it shows a bit of blue discoloration in my nose bridge. I went to the same doctor the whole time and this happens just this time. Near the bluish discoloration there is small veins that are only visible if it is look closely. Is there anything to worry about? Any suggestion would be helpful. Thanks!

Thanks for your photos. This could be Tyndall or the veins you mentioned in your comments. I suggest you have your injector give the appropriate diagnosis and consult about using a vascular laser if the veins are playing a major role. If Tyndall is the cause then it might benefit you to have the enzyme injection to make the product go away. Warmest regards, Dr. ALDO

Thank you for your question. This is probably the Tyndell effect. You can improve this by dissolving the filler with hyaluronidase. If there was staining after the injection this can also be hemosiderin staining. I recommend having this evaluated by your injector. Best of Luck!

I'd say that this is probably Tyndall effect. It can be improved by dissolving the filler with hyaluronidase. It can also be hemosiderin staining if there was bruising after the injection. This is taken care of with lasers and time.

Probably is, but if you have a BEFORE picture it would be helpful. If the blue was not there before the filler, than its Tyndall. Can be dissolved with Hylase, so go back to your Specialist to compare the before and after photos and discuss solutions. All the best, Dr Davin Lim, Brisbane. Australia.
