It’s been 2 weeks since I had it, all I can see is a line of filler??

Well, as much as we don’t know what you have been through , we also don’t know what you have tried. I think she was trying to help.

No it’s patronising. I haven’t asked for life advice. I asked advice on filler.

At your age lifestyle will make a big difference to your appearance.

  • drink more water
  • change your diet
  • do more outdoor exercise
  • eat healthily
  • if you are overweight lose some

I would also chat to your gp. Its unusual to be feeling the need for so many cosmetic procedures at such a young age. How is your self esteem? You may want some counselling to help you accept and be happy with your own appearance, and embrace everything that makes you a wonderful person, not just how you look. Otherwise you face a long unhappy road as you age and change. Your appearance is not what people value you for.

This is so patronising (sure I’ll get told I’m not allowed an opinion as the OP). I am a woman in my 30s I don’t need to be told I need therapy or what’s normal - you haven’t lived my life, had my experiences, issues I’ve had with my skin etc.

Eat less, move more, go outside - do you think this is some revolutionary advice? Why not go tell an homeless person to go buy an house? And I am already losing weight. I’ve gone down 2 dress sizes.

Just defending myself here, I cannot see your face. I don’t know if it’s my phone settings or my mumsnet settings but I can see a tiny bit of your eye and about 3cms below your eye. I did not say you looked over 50. I can’t even see your face. I’m sorry if you read it that way., but that is definitely not what I meant.

Here is the video I had been watching saying that filler is not great and that women over 50 do not get the same results with filler:

I imagine if you have had previous eye surgery, you are an even more complicated case for injecting filler under your eye.

I hope you get it sorted, and just to say again, I cannot see your face and did not say you looked over 50, I asked if you were over 50 because I had just seen a video about fillers over 50 not working as well as under 50.

All the best.

I can see what you mean OP.
I looked into under eye filler for ages and was put off because this seems to happen a lot to people.
I think if your review is soon then it is sensible to wait as you never know, it might settle more . I don’t think it’s something others would notice unless they were looking if that makes sense.

I would be very wary of injecting poison into your face full stop. I know many women in their 40s to 50s who’ve had to stop these treatments for a variety of reasons, you end up with the filler dropping or dispersing, which gives skin a melted, waxwork likeness. Avoid at all costs - save for the face lift if you must. Also in your twenties, when you began this course of treatment, why did you need filler? Surely filler is for older folks, whose skins has lost shape?

It's not poison. Ridiculous comment. It's a natural substance which is already in your skin.

Bad results come from bad practitioners. Sadly there are too many around now who are not properly trained but jump on the band wagon.

HPBrownSauce · 15/01/2025 07:38

What effect were you trying to achieve?
I had tear trough filler .
I was well into my 50s then.

I was told by the dr (considered the best for fillers in the UK by Tatler) that I'd get 50% improvement. They can't go too close to the eyes as it's too risky.

The filler was placed nowhere like yours is showing. It was injected via a canula from the side of eye near the upper cheeks. I had no lumps or bumps of bruising.

It lasted about 4 months. I'd not have it done again partly due to the cost- top prices of around £700 for 1mls - but also the risk and the minimal difference.

I suggest you look at the videos of The Cosmetic Skin Clinic and also the training of their staff shown on the site.

I can't imagine. It's not like the title is a direct question or anything.

Nah it's just rude and unnecessary. I can't imagine posting a comment like that unless I was a total bitch of course, but I'm not so I keep negative opinions to myself.

Morning OP, I’m 34 and had Botox and filler for a number of years, your face is entirely yours to do what you want with firstly. I have unfortunately had a bad experience with one practitioner, I did my research like you, mine was too much lip filler though, it pushed the sides of the top of my lips into creases (Hope that makes sense) and I went to another practitioner to correct which she managed too without dissolving. I appreciate yours is in a different place, but maybe that’s an option, finding someone else and explaining what’s happened. I like you paid a lot of money and when it’s your face it’s just such an awful feeling. Hope you manage get sorted (btw you don’t look 40, 50 or 60)! X

Superhansrantowindsor · 15/01/2025 07:01

I would be very wary of letting the person who did this do any remedial work. You give the impression that you know lots of people who have this sort of thing done so I would ask them who they use and go and get a second opinion.

I very much hope they have a solution - you have a lovely face. Take care, it’s a horrible feeling when things don’t go to plan and involve an area that is so visible, insist on an appointment today YANBU

I would insist on an appointment for her to check, yes absolutely and be clear you are not happy with the ‘bump’

KateDelRick · 15/01/2025 06:41

I want to apologise, @burberrygodess because I did assume that you were significantly older and I see that you're not. The close up of one eye socket is not a measure of age and I am sorry for any hurt caused 💐.
It's your face, your choice, it's looking a bit botched but I hope you can get it removed and a better procedure in it's place, and an outcome to your satisfaction.
All the best.

Winterskyfall · 15/01/2025 06:40

It doesn't look awful but you can definitely see a ridge.

EasternStandard · 15/01/2025 06:09

They seem to have used filler to make the issue worse

I’m curious what they say and what theyll
do about it, if you feel like updating after the review

PheasantPluckers · 15/01/2025 06:08

burberrygodess · 14/01/2025 20:51

It doesn’t at all. I’ve seen some amazing work.

OK, quite often it looks terrible or it isn't easy to achieve the 'amazing work' you refer to -you're modelling the proof now!

LinnettdeBelleforte · 14/01/2025 23:13

I mean, you asked for opinions. If you are going to get snippy with people answering honestly, why ask? I thought the same as the PP, you look as if you haven't been sleeping well.

Because I’ve seen extreme under eye bags, with huge pockets of fluid - mine look nothing like that.

And no I haven’t slept well, I’m on medication that causes my sleep to be horrendous.

What irony?

You have the capacity to understand that people can the exact same procedure and have different outcomes right?

Good grief! Of course it's excessive. It's not normal. I'm 35 and none of my friends have had any kind of treatment like this, nor do they need to.

😂😂 it’s not excessive in the slightest. In your circle maybe people don’t get things done or maybe they’d be too scared to tell you as you’re very judgy over something that has no impact on you,

I was very young to get a blepharoplasty, but unfortunately eczema had ruined the skin under my eyes, and I absolutely love the result.
