From all the research I assume my situation is I was injected superficially. I'm going to assume this dark line on my cheek and under my eye is the Tyndall effect. She gave me the option to dissolve it with hyaloronadaise but I read it can make it worse or impact my own natural collagen. She said the juvederm should dissolve in 2 years. It's been about six months now so I'm hoping this unnatural look will go away. Will the Tyndall go away in two years or will I be stuck with these lines forever?

Answer: Voluma Woes Filler injections to the under-eye area are very unforgiving. Of the fillers we use, Voluma is one of the thickest and stays around for a long time. For the under eye area, typically much thinner, less concentrated fillers are used to avoid the complication you've had. If the changes are still present 6 months after the injection, I would suggest injecting a little bit of hyaloronidase and one or two laser treatments.

Answer: Removing Juvederm From your photo this does appear to be the Tyndall effect and it probably happened because 1. you were injected superficially and 2. Juvederm is not usually the best choice for under the eyes because of this specific issue. It will resolve in time, but I have seen it last more than 2 years should you just decide to wait it out. Remember that with all injections, the biggest thing is the injector. So removing Juvederm is just as much an art as putting it in. I have not had any of the issues you are talking about when removing fillers. "This answer has been solicited without seeing this patient and cannot be held as true medical advice, but only opinion.
