I got tear trough filler 3 weeks ago and noticed a dark shadowing under one eye. I consulted my injector who said it needed more filler to balance out however it looks like a dark bruise. any advice?

Answer: Tear trough filler Its hard to say without seeing you in person, but from what I can tell you have a couple options. The injected filler seems to be swollen/retaining water so taking some of the filler out with hyaluronidase could help smooth the area. The other option is to support the filler that is there by adding more under or inferior to the puffy area. That will help eliminate the shadowing and bruise like appearance below the filler. As Dr. Sina suggests, it never hurts to get a second opinion!

Answer: Shadowing after filler The filler placed in the tear trough has hydrated, creating a bump or lump under the skin. As a result, a shadow has appeared below the bump. In this case you need LESS filler, not MORE. Hyaluronidase should be used to dissolve some of this filler to bring the bump down to a flat position. This should resolve the shadow.
