Tear trough filler migration - what can I do? (photos)

November 16, 2021
Asked By:HTX_girl in Houston, Texas

I had 1 mL of dermal filler injected into my tear trough approximately two months ago, more on the left than the right. I have noticed that the malar area below my tear trough, especially on the left is now permanently puffy (more in the am) and when I smile the area looks tight and unnatural. I have already tried PRP injections and now tear trough filler. I’m only 35 so I feel like I’m too young for a blepharoplasty. What can I do?
