Fillers are a popular non-invasive cosmetic procedure used to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, dark circles, and other signs of aging. However, there are risks associated with fillers, especially when injected into the delicate area under the eyes. Knowing the risks and understanding the procedure can help you make an informed decision about whether or not fillers are right for you. When it comes to fillers for under the eyes, there is a risk of bruising, redness, and swelling for a day or two. In addition, there is a risk of injections into a blood vessel.
However, this risk can be eliminated with the use of a cannula, making the risks very low. It's important to note that the area under your eyes is incredibly delicate and full of blood vessels, making it prone to bruising. The other most common side effect of eye fillers is swelling. Both problems should be resolved within a week. Fillers are good for anyone who can notice bags under their eyes between the ages of 20 and 60, but not everyone is a good candidate for fillers.
In some cases, the body may not respond in the right way. You may experience any number of risks, or your eyes may swell when subjected to liquids. All filler injections have a risk of bruising and swelling. In my experience, bruising is less likely to form after filling under the eyes if a cannula is used. Tear filling can help minimize the appearance of dark circles under the eyes that result from shadows being cast on the under-eye area. Once your condition is under better control, you will be able to get a much better long-term result from any cosmetic rejuvenation procedure for the lower eyelids. If your filler goes directly under the eye, your dermatologist will likely use a hyaluronic acid filler such as Restylane, Belotero, or Juvederm.
Normal structures usually found in this area include the skin of the lower eyelid, the eyelid muscle, and the tissue that covers the bone of the eye socket. After years of asking dermatologists and plastic surgeons what could be done for tired eyes, I realized that my most effective option was to use a filler under the eyes, also known as tear filling. This helps to level out and diffuse dark shadows. Another possible side effect of under-eye fillers that fail is the development of nodules (growths of skin tissue). The benefits of fillers for wrinkles under the eyes or dark circles include brightening the skin and restoring volume under the eyes. Fillers have been around since the 1970s but have become increasingly popular in recent years. Most doctors use a hyaluronic acid dermal filler for the lower part of the eyes, especially if this is the first time for the patient. According to Liotta, people who do not have very deep voids can use a filling syringe divided between each eye, while those with significant emptying may need a full syringe on each side.
In some cases, additional injections of facial filler placed correctly into the tear canal or other facial areas can give excellent cosmetic results. Then, with a small needle or blunt-tipped cannula (a thin tube), your healthcare provider places several small injections of filler along the tear canals. Most facial filler products injected into this area should ideally be placed in the tissue plane directly above the bone or at least below the muscle layer of the eyelid. For this reason, it is important that only a dermatologist or facial plastic surgeon with experience in injecting fillers under the eyes performs this procedure. Often, HA facial fillers can still be seen in this area for many years after they were injected (in some cases up to five years later).
