I have redness along the length of tear trough 10 weeks after filler. Is this normal? (photo)

Question

I had Revanesse Kiss injected in my tear troughs about a 10 weeks ago. My concern is the deep red line that has developed under both eyes along the tear trough. It is definitely worse looking (you can not see it good on the picture, but its worser) and concealer cannot cover it. What to do?

My suggestion is to see a cosmetic dermatologist for evaluation formally.  There is likely vascular congestion and possibly some inflammation that needs to be assessed.  This is not a normal reaction for filler injection to this area.  I wish you the best, Dr. Emer.

I have seen several posts about persistent swelling associated with Versa Revanesse fillers on Realself and as doctors we tend to look at patterns. These patients, including your issue lend towards Versa causing persistent swelling and edema which is not a desired reaction for most patients.

I would choose Restylane or Juvederm next time you choose to volumize this area. In the meantime, try to remove the Versa as quickly as possible.

Best,

Im not familiar with this filler but from the picture it seems like the areas were over-filled a little bit. if this filler can be dissolved then I would consider that as an option.

Mark Crispin, MD · Answer

Redness after filler injection is not unusual. However, one week out is concerning. Likely this is caused by local inflammation and vascular congestion. But at  this time I would recommend seeing a board-certified plastic surgeon.

It looks to me like the tear troughs are overfilled. I would consider getting it reduced with hyaluronidase. Set up a follow up appointment with your injector.
