Does this tyndal mean that filler is in the dermis? Treatment advice?

Question

I had restylane refyne and lyft 8 months ago. I was overfilled and I have this gray discoloration. I dissolved many times but the overfill is still there. I realized I have tyndal on my cheeks so maybe They did not inject hyaluronidase superficially enough. Does it mean filler is in the dermis?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

this isnt Tyndall this is likely pigmentation issues and can be treated with cosmelan peels, skincare, light low level lasers like clear and brilliant, microneedling and PRP, Aerolase.  I suggest you do an at home peel now and get on aggressive exfoliating skincare, then do lighter lasers when back in the office. We come to NY every two months and can do virtual consults and skin care for you now; then see you when back. Best, Dr. Emer.

Tyndall effect usually occurs when a hyaluronic acid product is injected into the lower eyelid where the skin is extremely thin. Because of the skin thinness, the hyaluronic acid reflects with a blue hue, making the person look like as if they almost have a black and blue bag in the lower eyelid region. It is almost impossible to have tyndall effect in the cheek area where the thickness of the skin is much greater than in the lower eyelid.
