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

Question

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 would recommend following up with the doctor who performed your procedure, especially if the pain does not subside in a few days.

Elisabeth Dancey, BM, BCAM · Answer

There are many nerves around the eye so any intervention can for a short while cause some strange sensations of pain. The filler would probably contain some local anaesthetic which again can interfere with normal sensation. The brand of filler is not relevant. If you are pleased with the result and the swelling is going down then just be patient for a few more days. It should settle.
Your remark about having treatment in another country is salient; it is always wise to have treatment in your own country just in case of problems after the treatment.
