Asked By:meghan37b

I went to the doctor to get dissolved under eye filler because i had years worth of filler and thought i had the tyndall effect. It was barely noticeable but i wanted to fix it. The doctor said it wasnt a tyndall effect and instead to put radiesse in the mid face that will lift the cheeks and reduce the darkness under my eyes. Instead it made it way worse. Is it filler thats irritated? Or is it staining? I didnt bruise or anything so confused how it could be staining.
