Filler under the eyes is an off-the-shelf treatment, but that doesn't mean it's unsafe. Dermal fillers have been approved by the FDA for use only on the cheeks, lips, nasolabial folds, and hands, but doctors often use off-label injectables. First, know that the area under your eyes is incredibly delicate and full of blood vessels, Dr. That thin skin makes this area especially prone to bruising, one of the most common side effects of eye fillers.
The other most common side effect is swelling, Dr. Both problems should be resolved within a week. If your biggest concern is dark circles, then tear filler may not be the right treatment for you. Dark circles under the eyes are a complex problem to treat and fillers will not solve the problem of skin pigmentation.
In fact, if dark circles are caused by a darker pigment in the skin, the filler can accentuate them. Some eye bags are caused by a true hollow under the eye, which can be treated by filling the cleft with dermal fillers. However, other types of eye bags are caused by fat pads that are too large. In these cases, fillers are definitely the wrong treatment.
Okay, it's important to note that fillers are not able to solve all problems under the eyes. Maiman says under-eye fillers are great if you need to fill the lost volume, which means you have noticeable tears and physical gaps under your eyes, but they're not necessarily an instant solution to all dark circles. Not sure if you've experienced volume loss under your eyes? Dr. Maiman suggests holding a mirror in front of your face and looking up so that the light reaches directly to the area under your eyes.
If the color remains, pigment and filler are unlikely to be beneficial, says. So far, under-eye filler is an off-label treatment, meaning it hasn't received FDA approval. That doesn't mean it's illegal to put a filler under your eyes or anything, but it's still smart to go into the process knowing that there are some risks (even if they're rare). That said, rarer and more serious side effects can also occur, such as the Tyndall effect (when the skin turns blue) or death of tissue around the eye.
Is it scary? 100 percent and it's even more of an incentive to find a certified professional if you choose to get fillers, not the first person you see online or the cheapest option. In addition, a quick warning that there is usually a slight bursting noise during injection. You're not going to spend all day in the derma or all week in your bed after that. Maiman says under-eye filling is non-invasive, has little or no downtime, and many patients continue their regular days after.
Bruises may last longer, but they should go away within a week, says Dr. Other than that, no real aftercare is required. Specialists in traditional cosmetics, such as oculoplastic surgeons, facial plastic surgeons, oral and maxillofacial plastic surgeons, general plastic surgeons, and aesthetic dermatologists, use these fillers. Many doctors also use these fillers to camouflage the appearance of dark circles (also due to lack of fat, which causes a sunken appearance in the area under the eyes).
Under-eye fillers are injectable treatments with hyaluronic acid (commonly known as Restylane and Juvederm) that can be used to treat loss of volume under the eyes. Another possible, more serious side effect of under-eye fillers that fail is the development of nodules (growths of skin tissue) after the injection. People with excessive bags under the eyes or sagging skin may be better suited for eye bag removal surgery, known as blepharoplasty, a long-term solution for tired eyes. An enzyme, called hyaluronidase, may be used to dissolve certain fillers and correct irregular results.
For some patients who have a very light skin color, the Tyndall effect can sometimes be observed after injections of facial filler with hyaluronic acid, even if the product was injected into the correct tissue plane. What is scary is that these people often end up in the hands of the diverse and not always qualified group of facial filler injectors described above. Not all patients who have the appearance of lacrimal or hollows in the lower eyelid are good candidates for facial filler injections in this area. Scallops or malar bags are puffy bags and puffy bags appear under the eyes, which usually occur due to aging of half of the face.
If your filler goes directly under the eye, your dermatologist will certainly use a hyaluronic acid filler, such as Restylane, Belotero or the aforementioned Juvederm, which can also be used on other parts of the face. If you have an area of the lower eyelid that appears to have the Tyndall effect, hyaluronidase injections will usually correct the problem by dissolving the facial filler product. Yesterday they gave me injections of restylane under my eyes, the left eye came out perfect, the right eye was not very good, I have a lump on my cheek, it looks like a chicken egg. .
