Pain radiating towards my right eye after fillers in tear trough down mediojugal fold. Is this normal? What should I do? (Photo)

VenetianBlindJan 7, 2018
I had Filorga filler injected with cannula in that area 5days ago. The blue line indicates where the filler is placed in my RIGHT side. Around 8h later I felt a stabbing pain when I pressed the area marked with red 'under' the filler, and strange pressure under my right eye. Now swelling is down but I feel mild pain when I touch that area. When I pressed it I felt a shooting pain ending under my right eye. I had great results with this doctor before but can't go back; she's in another country.

I appreciate your question. Direct injection of the dermal fillers into the fold is only one approach. Injection of a dermal filler like Lyft or Voluma might offer an alternative to improve the folds without the risks of shadowing. The filler should be injected over the cheekbones and not the f...

Hi Brooke. It looks like you would benefit from a tear trough injection. I find that cannulas are the most straightforward way to inject. A cheek injection will not help with the deep depression in the tear trough area. Get a second opinion from an expert injector!Best wishes. Dr. ALDO
