Blueish discoloration under eye after getting filler
Blueish Discoloration Under Eye After Getting Filler
I have been a patient of Dr. Mendelsohn for 12 years and he is amazing, friendly and an outstanding surgeon. I recently had filler injected by Karen Whitney. At first it looked great and after 1 1/2 months i started getting a blueish discoloration under one eye. So I did research on the subject and I have what's called Tyndall effect.
Here is what the website stated: "Hyaluronic acid based fillers like Restylane are commonly used to treatment undereye volume loss and hollows. If the wrong filler is used or the filler is placed incorrectly too close to the surface of the skin, then bluish discoloration (Tyndall Effect) can occur. This can be avoided in most cased by placing the filler relatively deep in the skin."
To correct this you have to have the filler dissolved. I am very disappointed in this treatment. but it will not deter me from going back, thank you.
