I try to cover it with concealer and makeup but it still shows. What is causing this and what can I do?
Answer: Periorbital Restylane It looks like you have some Restylane that was too superficially injected into your tear trough area. When this happens, it can become "balled up" as you are describing and even bluish or dark in color.The good news is that this HA filler can easily be injected with hyaluronidase and quickly break up the filler that is causing the problem. I would speak to your injector or another injector you trust and have them dissolve this area for you.

Answer: Lumpiness and discoloration of under eye area after Juvederm Ultra The hyaluronic acid product injected into you clumped up in the "lumpy" area, most likely.

Answer: Restylane Thank you for posting the photos! It appears that the filler was placed too superficially. There is a solution to the problem you are having. There is a product called Hylenex that can dissolve hyaluronic acid based fillers. When administered by a provider that is familiar with the product, it works well. Dissolving some of the product should take care of the discoloration and the bump. It may take a couple of treatments to get the desired outcome! I would recommend informing the provider that injected the Restylane initially.

Answer: Discoloration Hello there! It appears that you either have a puddle of filler in that area, that the filler is causing fluid retention in that area, and/or it was injected too superficially. These problems can be remedied by reversing the filler in this area. I would recommend consulting with your injector about this. Good luck! Sarah RN BSN

Answer: Treating Under eye filler discoloration. I can appreciate how distressing this is for you. Because the skin under the eyes is very thin, the under eye area can look dark before you place filler to conceal the shadows, so I recognize that it is frustrated when you go through a procedure, only to have the same issue only potentially worse.
