Does this look like the Tyndall effect? (Photo)

Thank you for the question.  I don't think this is Tyndall.  Usually Tyndall is a bluish discoloration caused by injecting a hyaluronic acid too close to the skin.  Obviously, your lips are very swollen.  This has likely caused a simple change in the vascular pattern causing the whitish discoloration.  Not to worry, it should resolve on its own.  I hope this helps.

bre34.  I understand your concern, but it appears from your photos that you have normal bruising and swelling after lip augmentation. Elevation and ice is your best option for now, and if you still have concerns after one week, return to your injecting physician. Best of luck.

It's too early to judge this result as final as your swollen. I also believe you do not have the Tyndall effect,  but have some tiny bruising.See your injector in 2 to 3 weeks and good luck. Dr. ALDO 

Thank you for your question. It is common to have some swelling and bruising after injections to the lips and should resolve in 1-2 weeks. You can ice the treated area to help reduce your swelling and bruising. If this persists after 2 weeks please follow up with your injector. Best of Luck!

Hi. Since your treatment was recent this is likely swelling and bruising. However, if the discoloration does not fade in a week like a bruise would then you should follow up with your provider. If the issue persists the provider may need to use Hylenex to dissolve a small portion of the filler to reduce the visibility. If this is a bruise you could use Arnica and a cold water washcloth on the area to help speed the recovery process. Hope this information helps! 

The lips are quite prone to swelling after injections.  From the image you provided, it looks like you have significant swelling.  Discoloration might represent bruising, which would gradually fade.  Lightly ice the lips and give it a few days as the swelling reduces.  Call the physician who did your injections with any specific concerns.

It appears that you may have some swelling or bruising from your lip injections. I would continue to ice and take Arnica and it should resolve it the next two weeks.  Best, Dr. Green

The picture shows a lot of swelling still.  What is shown could be bruising, but if it persists then it may be some Tyndall effect.  Very dilute hyaluronidase placement can help, but this can be tricky to be done well and not lose all or a significant portion of your dermal filler you paid for.  Keep in mind an aesthetic upper lip should be no greater than about one-half to 2/3rds as big as the lower lip.  Massge can be okay, but likely not to help much.  Best regards.  

you do not have a ttidal effect in your lips. You need approximately two weeks for the lips to recover. Good luck from New York City
