42, female & looking for options to fix the after effects of dissolving under eye/trough fillers? (Photos)

Question

Hello, I'm 42 years old, female who had some undereye fillers done in the past but had to have them dissolved. I was hoping to get some answers on what my future options are to fix the after effects of dissolving the past fillers.

To address this area you may benefit from Morpheus8.  This treatment combines RF technology with microneedling to improve overall skin tone and texture.  It is safe for all skin types and can be used to address the under eyes.  See an experienced provider to learn more.

Hello there L,
The undereye area is delicate and unforgiving.  We are seeing patients who have had fillers years before now presenting with malar edema (swelling on the cheek bones.)  In a patient who has had filler dissolved under their eyes, my preference is to treat them with their own blood processed to become an injectable gel.  Two tubes of blood are drawn, nothing is added to them, they are centrifuged, one is heated to form the blood protein albumin, the other is cooled forming plasma rich fibrin.  When they are then combined, they form an injectable gel that acts in bioregenerative fashion to rejuvenate the eye area.  This 100% natural treatment is called EZ Gel.  Make sure to have an expert master injector physician treat you in the future.  Good luck and be well.

At least from the photos provided, there appears to be some volume deficit in the upper cheeks. If this is indeed so, then the use of a robust HA volumizing filler for augmenting the upper cheeks region (an area responsible for the maintaining a smooth transition between the upper cheeks and the under-eyes) would help to diminish the hollowing seen there and to smooth the transition between the upper cheeks and the infraorbital region. You would be wise to consult with a board certified cosmetic dermatologist filler expert and best of luck.

Anna Chacon, MD, FAAD · Answer

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out with your concern. It's understandable to seek solutions after having undereye fillers dissolved. Here are some potential options you can consider:

Topical Treatments: Using high-quality eye creams containing ingredients like retinol, hyaluronic acid, and peptides can help improve skin texture and hydration around the eyes.

Laser Treatments: Fractional laser therapy or other resurfacing lasers can help stimulate collagen production, improving skin texture and reducing fine lines.

Microneedling: This treatment can also help stimulate collagen production and improve the overall appearance of the skin under the eyes.

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Therapy: PRP can rejuvenate the under-eye area by promoting collagen and elastin production using your body’s own growth factors.

Chemical Peels: Mild chemical peels can improve skin texture and pigmentation issues under the eyes.

Consultation with a Dermatologist: A personalized treatment plan from a board-certified dermatologist, like Dr. Anna Chacon, can provide you with the best options tailored to your specific needs.

It's crucial to consult with a qualified professional to assess your skin and discuss the best course of action based on your individual condition.
