To think my under eye filler looks awful?

Blindness? 😧

That's nonsense.

what else would a surgeon say- promoting surgery?!

There is a little ridge there but it does look slightly bruised so may be some swelling too. I would definitely raise it at the review.

I had this last year OP, a lump which the practitioner said would settle. It didn’t and after a month I opted to have it dissolved and redone. It’s still never been right and I’m waiting for it to dissolve naturally. I rushed into it and whilst the practitioner is very experienced I hadn’t done my research. I didn’t realise that eye trough filler is hard to get right. I’m now worried about how bad it’ll look once it’s dissolved. Don’t be fobbed off if they say it’ll settle. This almost congealed straight away and for a month friends thought I had a black eye!

What kind of age are you?

I saw a video the other day and the surgeon says over 50 there is no point doing fillers. He doesn’t do them anymore anyway but over 50 he said you just need a facelift and there is no point trying to fill anymore. I’m not sure what age you are by the photos, apologies if you are much younger, I can only see your eye so please don’t take offence at the question!

Look at the quality of training for the Cosmetic Skin Clinic in London.
Many of the practitioners are dentists or doctors. Dr Tracy Mountford is one of the best in the UK ( her lists are closed now) .

Tear trough fillers are risky- you need someone expert, Too near the eye and blindness is a risk if injected too close to a vein.

I couldn't see any filler like that after I had mine done a year or so ago.theyve done it wrong.

Absolutely not. It's just that you don't notice the good ones.

I think one of the issues is the filler has just formed a lump and it's accentuated by the dark circles around your eyes. What does the other side look like ?

They usually never bring it up as they can’t bloody do them!

You might not have need the filler but rather a a tear through. They never say tho

Dentists and doctors have spent years studying facial anatomy. They are highly qualified already and understand the risks. There is also a massive difference in the amount of training available in facial fillers from years to a few weeks.

It doesn't look good. There should be no line at all. I've seen friends with filler done by some of the best doctors doing it and it looks nothing like yours.

Sorry.

I don't know who you used but it should be a doctor or a dentist (some are both).

You can get is dissolved.

So training to do fillers is a half day course (some are longer, but most are a half day) and usually also includes Botox training. A medical professional will already have more detailed knowledge of the anatomy of where filler and Botox is being placed and the training will only give basic knowledge of this, with most training relating to placement, side effects and risks.

Have to say, I thought similar. My reaction was ‘that’s like my eyes when I’ve not slept well, been working long hours and am extremely tired’.

I’d complain / ask for a fix OP.

Because it's a valid comment.

I’ve had tear trough filler. I only get it done by a doctor who only does aesthetics work now. She has won various awards and is very experienced. I also got something similar to you. She warned me about it in advance and said something along the lines of…..,(and I can’t remember exactly so I may be using the completely wrong terms here!) …..the fact that some people have very strong ‘tendons’ (?) there and it can cause that kind of effect. She showed me on herself actually - when she scrunches her nose, she gets the same sort of thing and she said tear trough filler can highlight this.

However, that does look a bit overfilled imho so I’d definitely get it checked out. Mine did disappear after a few months but I think you’re is more pronounced.

I have to say, I would only get this done by a specialist, full-time doctor, not a nurse or someone who does it as an addition to their job. Done well, tear trough filler is amazing for hollow under eyes (not bags as people on here have said).

No, I lost faith in their abilities, even though I went to a highly rated place. The doctor that did my filler trains lots of other doctors to do fillers, but even he messed it up 🤷‍♀️

Out of interest for those of us who dont really understand these things, what difference does it make if the person is a medical practitioner or a cosmetic professional, havent they both had the same cosmetic training? Surely training to do fillers is the same whatever?

Oh OP. You need someone who really understands anatomy. This filler needs dissolving. I fear this ‘nurse’ will just add more.

Have a look at Dr Steve Harris on Instagram. That’s the sort of person who should be injecting your face.

This isn’t meant to be a condescending or cruel post. I think well done filler is fantastic. That and Botox are the only things that make a real identifiable difference to aging. I have both.

I had the same happen. Had a doctor do it who I had seen results of previously. It went like yours. I had it dissolved (wasn't too painful). I do have a little dent on one side now which I think has been caused by dissolving.
I just think filler doesn't sit well on some people.
I've had poleonucleotites (not spelt right!) which have been much better.

Was it supposed to help with the hollows under your eyes? It’s hard to tell with only ‘after’ pics. I can see the ridge, so I’m not surprised you’re unhappy. But hopefully your practitioner knows how to fix this.

It definitely doesn't look great, like it's all settled in one place.

Have you had filler before or elsewhere? It doesn't always settle well on everyone. Have your lips settled ok?
