I had Juvederm under my eyes, which I now know isn't recommended. This was 6 months and 5 hyalurondaise injections ago. I had tyndall and puffiness. I no longer have puffiness but still tyndall. Some filler was placed near the corners without issue. I see that slowly going away but the tyndall directly under the eyes is not. I read superficial injection caused tyndall and takes much longer to go away. Could it have been a good injection but bad product for me as I have fair, thin skin?

Answer: Tyndall Effect after Fillers Thank you for your question. I'm sorry to hear that you are experiencing complications from your prior Juvederm treatment. I can't make specific recommendations without assessing you in-person or reviewing your photos. That said, generally speaking the Tyndall effect occurs when filler is injected too superficially in the skin - the superficial product scatters visible light, resulting in a bluish discoloration. While the Tyndall effect certainly is more common in fair-skinned individuals with thinner skin, your injector should take this into account when determining which fillers to use and where to place filler injections. If you and your physician still feel that you are experiencing the Tyndall effect (and are not seeing a superficial vein, or other causes of blue discoloration under the eyes), it would likely be worthwhile to continue hyaluronidase injections - please keep in mind that it can take several treatments to fully dissolve Juvederm. I hope this helps!
