Under eye filler

$1,390

I wanted to fix some hollowness under my eyes so I decided tear trough filler . I went To a board certified plastic surgeon and 24 hours after the filler I had tyndell effect .i made several calls to the dr and explained that it didn't look right .. they insisted that I wait a whole month before judging. Well here I am 6 weeks later and I look terrible . Biggest regret in life was getting under eye filler . I'm completely botched and look as though I was punched in both eyes .

It can be dissolved but aI strongly suggest going to an ophthalmic plastic surgeon for this, expensive but worth it. The cosmetic nurse I got to for Botox or filler is amazing but she refuses to do under eye filler. Hope you feel better.
I don’t think you look botched or punched at all, but I can’t super tell the difference between those photos to say you got filler
i have the same issue , its my 6th month and still having it! I wouldnt recommend under eye fillers or boosters to anyone!

Under eye fillers

I was sick of looking tired so I decided to get my tear troughs filled with restylyne because I was told that was the best one to do I went to Dr. Leong in Pittsburgh and he did the procedure and now I have these lines under my under eyes that make me look 10 years older I cry almost every day regretting what I've done and I hope there are some hope out there for me to get rid of these lines that are under my eyes and if anybody knows please let me know because I am depressed beyond belief.

Same happened to me, more than a year ago and I'm still battling to get rid of them, specially bad in my right eye, I've tried the enzyme to dissolve it and corticoide which has helped a lot. My doctor says that isn't the hialuronic but the fixative to it which I'm allergic to.
I do believe it is reversible if you had the Restylane under your eyes? I looked it up and I know I had a friend that had some thing done like that but I think she uses Juvederm only now!
Whenever I have anything into my cheeks or near my eyes I only use a small amount to have it injected hopefully the injector was very experienced? This is what you can do… Good luck hon
An enzyme called hyaluronidase can be used to correct "overfill" of hyaluronic acid fillers such as Restylane. Once hyaluronidase is injected into the targeted areas, it goes to work dissolving the filler over the course of a few days.
