To think my under eye filler looks awful?

I get under eye filler, mine took a few weeks to settle in it always looks like that untill swelling settles it will settle down and look fab 👌

I can see the ridge,
when is your review appointment?

I've no idea what she looks like. The picture is only of the eye hollow, which is very ageing amd looks like that of a much older person.
The procedure most definitely hasn't worked.

I would ask the practioner ASAP and asking that if the new ridge is present will go away, if so how long should I wait? Is it in both eyes or just one.

Also ask what signs and symptoms you should watch out for to know if the filler hasn't work, or should be dissolved.

Record the conversation in writing (I think you need their permission to record their voice). Make sure you get down exactly what they say. When they speak ask her to slow down because you want to make sure you get the details correct.

I don't know how plastic consultations work but if you have to get it dissolved, ask for a refund.

She does not look like she’s in a her late 60s.

Yes, I would agree, probably late 60s, they've really messed up.

I do worry for the current cohort of young people. If they’re so upset by their appearance in their 20s that they have to pay for expensive and risky procedures, how the hell will they cope post menopause, when it really does all start to fall apart?!!

I agree,this doesn't look good.
Those under eye hollows look awful, and it's very ageing. Probably it's a good idea to get them dissolved. I hope you get your money back.

Just read your updates. I'd be so sad if you were my daughter and felt you needed to alter your face in your early 20s. I hope you have been pursuing other ways of feeling good in your own skin. You're so young to feel like you need to be "more". You're enough.

I wouldn't look at your face and think you have had filler that's gone wrong, I would assume you are of a certain age (50s?) and have heavy bags under your eyes. On that basis I agree you should complain.

I’m not talking about the op in this instance just cosmetic procedures in general.

I can understand why 40+ women might feel the pressure to get stuff done. But generally when people I know under that age get it done it just makes girls look a lot older, I guess because they are adding to what was already a naturally ‘youthful’ shaped face.

Seeing all their peers on socials looking the same way with the same shaped features must put a lot of pressure to emulate the same looks.

People should do what they want and what makes them happy but I do think it’s a bit weird to pretend that young women look better or more youthful especially as most won’t be able to afford to get it done to a high standard.

I hope there will be less pressure to go down this route for future generations.

You had your first filler when you were around 23?

Anyway what do I know- I am ancient and clearly incredibly out of touch. So glad to be ancient though!

Quite honestly I didn't know they did under eye filler. I've never heard of anyone having it. I cover my problems with concealer made for my age group.
Maybe it just needs time to settle you see celebrities who have massive fat faces after loads of filler then it settles into something that looks better.
I would have thought this would be the same principle. You'd have to ask the person who did it.

Where was it meant to go? It looks as if it’s been injected into the very spot that gets the bags already.

It does look like bad under eye bags. When is your review?

So if I am right you have had a blepharoplasty, tear trough, jaw filler and now undrereye filler by your early thirties?

Seems excessive.

hope you can get it dissolved op. I’m another one who thinks filler looks awful, but maybe as people say I only notice the bad ones (of which there are many)

FGS leave your face alone!

Yes. This is why I go to a phenomenal doctor who never injects without ultrasound guidance.

That beauticians can inject people’s faces with filler after a half day course terrifies me. Absolutely. Necrosis is horrifying. And that’s just one potential awful outcome.

PS - In hindsight I should have got it fully dissolved and asked for a refund. I didn’t want to because I was having other ongoing treatments and didn’t want it to be awkward.

If you’re well-researched you’ll know that what has happened is not uncommon with eye filler.

It’s possible to do a blepheroplasty so that you don’t need filler, sometimes with fat transfer. This guy’s work is amazing:

Il be honest it has sort of given you the look of "bags" you can see a line perhaps not a good injection technique and does depend on the injector. My mum once had filler in her lips it ended up like clumps like literally individual balls in her lips she had to get it dissolved. I've never had filler under my eyes but if you have had it before and know this is not normal then see what they can do to resolve it as it may need dissolved it does sit out.
