I had been to this Dr. in the past for fillers around my nasal folds and I was very pleased with the results. Therefore I trusted him completely when in a last minute discussion with his nurse I decided on getting filler in my cheeks to fill in the hollows of my eyes. Without him doing a test to check whether or not I was allergic to the filler nor did he map out on my face and get my approval, he just came in felt my face and started injecting. Here I am 6 weeks later disfigured. The right side of my face in fuller than the left which is sunken in. You can clearly see the injection, my skin is so tight when I smile it hurts.
My right eye sat higher then the left afterwards and the shape of eyes and face have changed so much that people who know me have a look of shock when they see again after this procedure.
I am devastated, depressed, don't go out with my friends any longer, avoid them actually. This has destroyed my life. I look like a different person and no longer want to look in the mirror long enough to apply makeup. I look at least 10 years older than before the injections which is not what any person would want. If I could only go back in time and tell myself to run!!!!
Some people avoid eye contact with me that I know casually and then others ask me what the heck happened to me. Some actually laugh when I walk away. Some say well, you don't look "that bad" it will get better in time won't it?
Never, ever, have a procedure around your eyes unless you are fully prepared for things to go horribly wrong.

Wonderful Doctor who has injected fillers in the past, however, this time he made a very grave mistake and it has cost me dearly. He should have done an allergy test, he should have at least drawn on graph on my face and made sure we were on the same page. Used less filler and added more at a later date if I felt I wanted more augmentation. When I told my face was no longer symmetrical his response was "is anything ever symmetrical"? Come back in 4 weeks. I was shocked!!! The results were so horrific I then went to Urgent Care when I awoke with blurry vision. He was out of town but his associate did come over right away to check for an infection and instructed me to make an appointment to see Dr. Tucker when he returned from vacation. I am told to wait until June 17th and if my face is still not symmetrical he will do injections on the left side at his cost. Meanwhile, I live with a disfigured face, I wake up every morning and become nauseous at the sight of my face. It's my life that has forever been changed because of a doctor who dropped the ball, came in the room and in 5 minutes injected far to much filler into my face.

Hi, I'm sorry for your troubles!
But this review should be under the filler you received

Sorry this happened to you, but fortunately fillers can be dissolved with hyaluronidase. If i were you, instead of having more filler on the ither side, i would dissolve everything that will leave you hopefully as you were before the fillers, hope this helps

Did you ask any suggestions from any doctors on here. I saw this doctor on youtube who said he doesn't like to put fillers under the eyes because it's not predictable!
