Can under eye fillers migrate?

Hi @Skibunnyshop! Unfortunately, there is always a risk for filler migration. This sometimes occurs due to the depth the filler was placed. Luckily, this is easily fixed with Hylanex which dissolves the migrated filler.

All fillers can unfortunately migrate and under-eye filler can look like that after a migration. Fortunately, it can be dissolved with Hyaluronidase and filler can be reinjected in the area after 2 weeks

Hello, depending on your injector's technique, placement of product, and choice of product, it may be possible to see exacerbation of eye bags due to filler associated edema or swelling as well as superficial product placement which causes Tyndall and blue effect to the surface of the skin. Please visit an experienced oculoplastic surgeon for clinical and procedural evaluation of your eyelids.

Yes eye filler can migrate in certain cases. You can elect to have hyaluronidase injected to dissolve the filler if this happens. Always use an experienced injector for fillers. I've included a video about under eye filler that I hope you find helpful.

Hi there! Yes, under eye filler can migrate downward. When it does so, it can appear lumpy, full, or like a "sausage" in appearance. Softer products can be more favorable than thick and stiff products. Under eyes can be very tricky to get right. If the area appears unsightly, hyaluronidase is an enzyme which can be injected to dissolve the filler. Hope this helps!

The short answer is yes. All filler can migrate some. If the injections are not deep enough the filler can move and also cause a tiny pouch. Under eye filler in particular comes with many challenges. I like to address the upper face as a whole and not just focus on under the eye. Dealing with dark circles or the hollow that develops as you age is frustrating but it is an area that is front of mind for most people. I would suggest a couple different consultations from different providers because solutions vary and each person is different.

Under eye fillers can cause chronic swelling and can definitely migrate to adjacent areas of the soft tissue, especially if they are injected near the bone.
