I have a white patch under my right eye 4 months after Restylane and eye irritation, is this normal? (Photos)

Question

I had a restylane injection under eye for the hollows 4 months ago. Just recently i have noticed a white patch under my right eye. The blue color under my doctor explained was a tyndall effect? Is that normal to have those skin discolorations? Also, since the injections i have been having irritated eyes with more red blood vessels on the surface that get better on and off and developed intolerance to contact lenses and eye make up.

It's hard to tell from your pictures. I recommend having an evaluation with your injector. If you're unhappy with your Restylane results, you can have reversed with hyaluronidase. I hope this helps.

Difficult to tell from the photo but Tyndall effect seems most likely reason. Definitely discuss it with your injector. It may be needed to dissolve a bit of the filler. Personal consultation is necessary.

Hi, Thank you for your post. After 4 months it is unlikely to be caused by the filler. Without a consultation it I can't really tell you what is going on. I would recommend following up with an ophthalmologist and a board certified plastic surgeon to see what they suggest.

Dear victory7564,it is hard to tell without an examination. If you have any concerns, I would suggest you to consult your plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS

It's difficult to tell from your pictures. If you're unhappy with your final results, you can have it reversed with hyaluronidase and try a different technique next time. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer
