Tear filling is a popular procedure used to reduce the appearance of bags and hollows under the eyes, but what happens if the filling of the lacrimal canal goes wrong? In some cases, incorrect placement of the filler can lead to unnatural looking results, such as the Tyndall effect, lumps, and swelling. It is normal for patients to experience some edema or periorbital swelling after the procedure. The skin of the lacrimal canal is so thin that redness, bruising, and edema are likely to occur. In rare cases, hyaluronic acid can be injected into a blood vessel and cause temporary vision problems.
However, hyaluronic acid is soluble and can be dissolved with a watery substance if this happens. Facial fillers derived from hyaluronic acids (HA) are generally considered to be the safest option for treating this sensitive area. When done correctly, tear treatment can achieve a smoother, younger and rejuvenated appearance with a noticeable reduction of bags under the eyes and deep lines. A needle can be used to place the product deeper down into the periosteum or bone surface, which means that the filling will be below the fat, pushing it up and propping up the lacrimal canal area.
Sometimes patients react to fillers and may need emergency steroids and hyaluronidase. Facial filler particles of hyaluronic acid that are placed too close to the surface of the skin can cause light incident on the area to scatter in such a way that it can create a bluish tint on the skin that covers the treated area. When considering a revision procedure after an unsatisfactory result of facial filler injections under the eyes (non-surgical rejuvenation), it is very important that you do your homework with regard to the education, background, training and experience of a qualified surgeon.

Tim has created a simple video showing his technique for controlling edema after tear filling by massage. Tear filling is used to make the lacrimal canal less pronounced, which can make the face look more awake. It is a complex area to treat since tissues are much thinner here than in other areas of the face, making any kind of problem much more obvious. The drug that dissolves these facial fillers is called hyaluronidase and works as an enzyme to break down these products. This procedure has become increasingly popular in recent times as patients look for a quick and painless solution to reduce bags under their eyes caused by aging. When done correctly, tear treatment can achieve a smoother, younger and rejuvenated appearance with a noticeable reduction of bags under the eyes and deep lines.
