To think my under eye filler looks awful?

[burberrygodess]

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

The average nurse, which doesn't sound like yours (but I'd want to check that masters degree because I've only ever seen those courses for doctors if both UK based), has no where near the knowledge or training I'd want someone to have before injecting fillers or botox into my face.

Why do you suppose the fillers displace themselves? It’s because your body isn’t foolish, it has detected a foreign object / substance and is trying to disperse it. That’s a rather weird leap you’ve made there, not sure this point is connected, but since you’ve mentioned: I find the pumped-up neumatic Barbie vibe totally tragic (and very aging). No judgement though, each to their own. I can see when people have had filler work, it’s very obvious, but there’s a worrying trend for this odd look, one that is being adopted by teenagers and very young ladies. It’s abhorrent to see wrinkle free perfect skin being injected to look inflated and fake - sorry if we have to agree to disagree on this.

It doesn’t actually, filler you notice always looks terrible. I don’t have any btw .

If you don't know (which you don't) what fillers are made of, maybe do some research? They become displaced because of unskilled application (usually not deeply enough.)

No judgement though, each to their own. 😂

On the topic of young girls with huge lips, massive eyebrows and brown make up- yes, I agree.

But there is a huge difference between 'that look' and the very subtle changes that older women have to restore a little lost volume. The best cosmetic doctors don't do 'that look' and they promote 'less is more'.

It does look terrible if poorly done, and it is very often poorly done. Often enough to put me off getting it, even though I am not 100% against the idea of cosmetic intervention. The face that even wealthy celebrities who have access to the very finest treatment often look like a dog's breakfast is enough to warn a lot of people off. I am sure that it can look very good, but it is such a risk.

I have had tear trough fillers twice due to uneven under eyes due to constantly sleeping on one side.
The first time I had pads just under the corner of the inner tear trough and they reduced and flattened out in a good 3/4 weeks.
I then went to have it again, a different location more the outer edge of the tear trough area and it has smoothed the area very well and evened up both under eyes.
I wonder if the filler you have received is too thick? For that area you need a thin filler that only lasts up to 6 months. I had a total of 1ml between both areas and more so on one side.
As I still have other wrinkles and lines I still look the same, just more rested.
I visit a GP, receive a fortnightly check up and full before and after treatment guidelines.

Hi Op - not going to question why you got it (I have Botox for my gummy smile!!) However - yes your filler looks bad. I’m sorry to say. For some reason it’s settled in a really weird place. Are you able to see a cosmetic dr about it? You normally would wait at least 2 weeks for it to settle. I would make an appt now tho.

This is just nasty and unnecessary.

OP you do not look anywhere near 40, 50 or 60.

I wonder what some of these commentators look like.

Any recommendations?? Lol

I'm with you on not looking 50 or 60, but the OP could easily be over 40. I thought she was about my age (42) from the picture.

I'm not sure I would trust OP's recommendations lol. I would go by word of mouth, if there is someone you know who has good work ask them where they got it done.

Honestly? I agree you are right to be dissatisfied with your present result. The under eye area is a very difficult area to inject, as another mumsnetter has already mentioned.

I have had filler in my cheeks (and the last couple of years my marionette lines) for 9 years now, and I have always had a good result. This is because my practitioner understands facial structure, where and how to place filler and how to avoid mistakes and injury. She goes on courses to update her skills regularly. She is actually a Dentist who trained to administer dermal fillers and Botox too over a decade ago now. She has both clinics at her practice, dental and facial.

She told me that she is shocked by some of the questions people ask on training courses and that they shouldn’t be allowed to practice. She had a nurse who assisted her (not injecting, administering numbing cream, passing syringes etc) who left to set up on her own, injecting fillers and Botox and she did not agree with it at all.

So I think you should go back to them and claim a refund. I don’t know where you live or I would recommend my practitioner as she likely could put it right for you. A skilled practitioner could do that. I am sorry that your result is not good, and I am sorry for it.

But it can take up to a month for filler to settle, so it may improve in the next two weeks. But if it does not, I would not let the same person inject your face again.

I hope I haven’t upset you by anything I have said in my reply, but you asked for honesty and I have 100% given it.

Stop injecting your face

You're only early 30s!

Good god woman.

She obtained it from the University of Manchester, not a company. It was a masters in aesthetic medicine.

Ca you just explain to me how you are guessing her age? I am seeing a tiny part of one eye and a tiny bit underneath. I can’t see her face at all?

OP pay no mind to people saying you look 50s/60s. You can't even see enough of your face to guess your age.

Disregard my question, I see it now. I see the second photo if I click on it I can see about a third of her face. Thanks

There’s something almost sheep-like in that they all want to look alike and conform to what the latest ‘look’ is.
I’m very thankful I’m old and way past worrying about my looks!

Have a look at the consultant clinic on Instagram, they’re amazing at what they do, and all Drs too, their work is undetectable, they’re pricey though!
Yours may just need a few more days to go down 🤞🏼

It's interesting that the degree exists.

But it seems to be aimed at doctors or dentists.

MSc Skin Ageing and Aesthetic Medicine / Overview
MSc 3 Years PT, PGDip 2 years PT, PGCert 1 Year PT

Entry requirements
We require a medical or dental degree (eg MBBS, BDS, LDS, MBChB) or overseas equivalent from an institution that is recognised and approved by the UK General Medical Council (GMC) or the General Dental Council (GDC). No other applicants will be considered for this course.

All of this. In particular, dentists have years of training in complex facial anatomy; some nurse or beautician will have maybe done a weekend course. You say you've "done your research" - in which case you should know this.

It is madness to let some nurse near your eyes with a needle, risking blindness. How can you trust her to know how to fix this, without creating more damage if this is what she's done and charged you over four hundred pounds for?

Keep this level of invasive procedures up and by the time you actually are in your fifties, if not before, you'll look like Pete Burns.

You have already made yourself look older, somehow. A touch of concealer carefully applied is surely a better solution. I hope it settles and you don't have to revert to having it dissolved, as that carries problems of its own.

I don't know anything about it, I just saw the degree certificate on her wall.

It is, isn't it.
The first thing I noticed in OPs first photo is what beautiful colour eyes she has!
Kindness costs nothing, especially when someone has come to a forum for some friendly womanly advice.
It looks a little bruised and I still think the swelling should go down.

Drink plenty of water OP!
As a last resort, you can always have It dissolved, but I personally think it will go down. (Everyone has a different experience with downtime)
You should also avoid sleeping on your stomach/side. Try to keep your head elevated slightly.
And.....Pop some pillows either side of you to help prevent you rolling in the night. Or buy one of those travel pillows to keep you face up. 💕

Drinking a lot of water is always the default recommendation on here, however, in this instance it would make little difference to the appearance of the OP. She needs to sort out the filler issue, possibly by having it dissolved, or dealt with by a qualified practitioner.
