Okay, so let’s talk about my tear trough filler experience. I’ve always been a bit self-conscious about the dark circles under my eyes. I’m a big fan of those celebrities and influencers, and they always seem so fresh-faced with no sign of any dark circles. I figured, why not give it a shot? It seemed like a quick fix to look more awake and youthful.
I did a little bit of searching online, found a clinic nearby that seemed legit. I went in for a consultation, and the doctor looked professional enough. She told me all about the procedure and how it would make my under-eye area look amazing. I was pretty excited and decided to go for it.
The first time I got the injections, it wasn’t too bad. I mean, a needle near your eye is never fun, but it was quick. I saw some results right away, and I was thrilled. But then, things started to change. After a week or two, I noticed some puffiness under my eyes. It wasn’t terrible at first, but it didn’t go away. I went back to the clinic, and the doctor said it was normal swelling and it should be good in a bit.
But it just got worse!
The puffiness turned into these weird lumps, and my under-eye area looked uneven. I was so upset because it looked way worse than before. I was hoping for a subtle change, but instead, I ended up looking like I hadn’t slept in days. And this is when I began to regret.
I went back again, feeling really frustrated. The doctor tried to fix it by injecting some kind of dissolving agent, but that didn’t really help much. It reduced the lumps a bit, but my under eyes still looked strange. I was really down and didn’t know what to do. I ended up going to another clinic for a second opinion. The new doctor was shocked and told me the filler was placed incorrectly. It was too superficial, causing the lumps and the bluish tint, which I learned is called the Tyndall effect.
- Tried to dissolve it again.
- It helped a little.
- Still not completely gone.
This whole experience has been a nightmare. It’s been months, and I’m still dealing with the aftermath. My under-eye area looks better than at its worst, but it’s not what I wanted. It’s a constant reminder of a bad decision.
So, here’s my advice if you’re thinking about getting tear trough filler: Do your research! Don’t just go to any clinic. Find someone who really knows what they’re doing and has a lot of experience with this specific procedure. And be prepared for the possibility that things might not go as planned. It’s not always a simple fix, and it can actually make things worse. I’ve learned this the hard way. I really hope this helps someone out there avoid the same mess I got myself into.
