One year update
Update: It has been one year since this procedure and my fillers have gone down and I look like my old self which I'm happy about. However, I do think there is still some filler that is still in there. I really had a hard year with waiting it out and letting the fillers dissolve but didn't want to risk it with the Hyaluronidase because I didn't need another issue if that created a new one . I was extremely unhappy with the way it turned out and felt sad all year. Luckily this procedure was temporary and I was able to regain my old face again. After all said and done, I would have waited until I was a little older and definitely will not use a cannula IF i were to decide to do this again. I'll just accept that this was a bad experience and leave it at that
Update
Thank you everyone for your replies. I did go to an eye doctor/surgeon and he said my reaction to the filler created the pool due to malar edema. So basically he said the injector did a great job but could've maybe injected it without the canola for my personal preference (I feel needle points are more controlled) but my body's reaction to the injections is on an individual basis so the filler was drawn to my malar area and created the pool/shadowing underneath my eyes. The original injector became very defensive when I brought it up to her and I didn't feel comfortable talking to her anymore about it. I did leave them alone. I am still noticing the shadowing but the fillers are coming down so I will wait it out! Thank you :)
Tear Trough Treatment. Left Eye Left Worse Than Before.
My tear troughs were bothering me so after a few months of debating I decided to go forward to help the improvement of my always "tired" looking eyes. I went in and I was told I needed a cheek filler to help lift the cheek as well as the under eye filler for the maximum look.
I received Voluma in my cheeks and Restalyne for my under eye treatment.
At first the eyes look great after the initial injection but I realized that night under my left eye I now had a shadowing I didn't have before Looked like a small "pool" of shadowing. I attributed it to the swelling and I knew I had to wait a few weeks to see final look. After two weeks the shadow was still there. Even with with a full face of make up and under eye concealer it still shows. It wasn't the normal tear trough shadow it was more of a wider shadow at the end of my previous original tear trough.
I went to another nurse to have it checked out and she said the job was done well by the original nurse who administered the treatment. So I waited a few more weeks to see if it would get better. It didn't.
I went back to the original nurse 1 month and two weeks after my initial treatment and she did notice what I was talking about (the shadow) so she gave me two options 1. Not do anything about it 2. Take out the filler leaving me with the previous tear trough look. I felt defeated. I was not happy with the results but the previous look was not great either. She massaged it for me to hopefully smooth out the shadow and said to wait a few more months to make my decision as the filler would keep going down.
I let go of the thought to do anything about it but today at work I looked in my mirror and noticed how horrible my eye looks. I don't know what to do. My right eye looks good but my left eye actually looks a lot more aged than before my treatment. Any advice to see what can be done? Should I redo the whole eye again or is this the most I will get for what I paid for? I do understand that different angles in pictures can change shadowing but in this case it's not the case as my eye looks bad in all lighting and angles.
Thanks.
