Can filler cause sinus problems (clogged tear drain & blue bruising)?

Question

Inquiring about the probability of filler injected 8 years ago under the eyes and more recently in the cheek area could have caused aclogged tear drain and consistent blue bruise under one eye. Symptoms developed about a year ago. Appreciate any insight.

Gianfranco Frojo, MD · Answer

We have done extensive continual learning about hyaluronic acid fillers in the lower eyelid. In some patients, the filler may never actually dissolve. It may actually also caused obstructed lymphatic drainage of the lower eyelid leading to persistent swelling and potential discoloration. Please see a board-eligible or board-certified plastic surgeon to fully evaluate you and potentially treat you with hyaluronidase to dissolve the filler.
