Is this tyndall effect? Juvederm filler on the bridge of my nose (Photo)

Question

I have a question regarding my filler. So i had this filler with qualified doctor who used to do filler for me for about 2 years. But i never had some sort of discoloration on the bridge of my nose or anything. Is this dangerous? Or is there anything i can do? The color does not go and it stays for about 2 months already since I had my filler. It is not very clear but its just makes me feel less confident.

I believe we're looking at filler that is too superficially injected. You can see your injector to have it dissolved or you can wait for it to go away on its own, but it may take a year or longer. Warmest regards, Dr. ALDO

It's difficult to tell from your lighting in your picture, but this could be the Tyndall effect. You can have it reversed with hyaluronidase. It may take a series of treatments. Best, Dr. Emer

This is called Tyndall effect. It is caused by the reflection of light on the superficially placed filler. There are 2 treatments for this. Either wait for the filler to be metabolized, which could be a year or more. The other treatment is dissolving the filler with hyaluronidase.

It is difficult to access from the photo, but what you are saying and from what I can tell it may be a tyndall effect. please follow up with your treating physician for an in person evaluation and discussion of options.  Good luck.
