I had Juvederm injected in my tear trough 8 days ago for hallowness. She used the cannula method and one full syringe per eye. At my consultation she told me I needed 2 per undereye, but to just start with one per eye. They look horrible! Everyone asks me if I have black eyes? I thought at first it was bruising, but now on day 8 and no improvement I'm starting to panic! Is this Tyndall effect? What should I do now? I'm embarrassed to go anywhere!!

Answer: Tear trough fillers Hi and thanks for posting your question and photos!Tear trough injections require a very light hand and there are very few good candidates for said injections. Filler materials hang onto quite a bit of water and patients experience swelling a good 2 weeks post procedure. What I see is swelling and probably some residual bruising but no Tyndall effect per se.I would urge you to return to your injector and voice your concerns. Open communication with your injector is paramount. They may provide you with reassurance, offer to dissolve your filler or present other options.

Answer: Juvederm to tear troughs is asking for trouble I don't think that Juvederm is the correct filler for this area. I can lead to prolonged edema, even years later. Also, to place 2 syringes per tear trough is probably too much. I don't see a Tyndall effect. I do see overfilling. I question the experience of this injector. The one positive is that cannulas were used, which is something I highly recommend for this area. I does take about 2 weeks for everything to settle down after fillers to this area so you might just want to wait. See my link which discusses why Juvederm shouldn't be used here.
