Under eye filler can look natural if it’s done properly. Since the skin under the eye is delicate, it’s important to have a professional inject the filler. They can use the right product for your skin type, and know where to place the filler for a natural look.
For example, the right product in the right amount placed in certain areas can instantly fill hollows and lift the area to look more refreshed and vibrant. It’s important to choose a qualified doctor who knows how to create the best results and how to customize your look.
Many people opt for the semi-permanent, hyaluronic acid-based filler, because it’s long-lasting and can be reversed if desired. While the results may not look natural right away, they should settle and blend in over time as the swelling goes down.
Are Under eye fillers noticeable?
Under eye fillers can be noticeable, depending on the type of filler used and the amount injected. Generally, under eye fillers are injected to help reduce the appearance of dark circles or fill in hollowing caused by the loss of volume within the skin.
Although the effects will be subtle, they may be noticeable to others. When injected correctly and in the right amount, the results will be natural looking, not overly obvious. On the other hand, if too much is injected or if a filler that is heavy and too concentrated is used, then the results can be quite obvious.
For this reason, it is best to consult with a board certified professional who is experienced and skilled in administering under eye fillers.
What are the cons of under eye fillers?
Under eye fillers can have a variety of cons, which every prospective patient should consider before embarking on a treatment.
One of the primary risks associated with under eye fillers is the possibility of infection. During the procedure, any skin break can introduce the risk of infection, which can be severe. As with any injection-based cosmetic procedure, the safety and accuracy of the procedure relies on the skill of the doctor performing the procedure, so it’s extra important to find a qualified and experienced medical professional to perform your procedure.
In addition, there is the possibility of under eye sinking and Tyndall effect. Although rare, if filler migrates to the lower layers of the skin where it isn’t intended to be, it can cause the under eye area to become especially hollow.
The Tyndall effect is the blue-ish discoloration that sometimes occurs when the injected fillers become visible through the skin. This is not considered an optimal outcome and can be difficult to fix.
There is also a risk of potential allergic reaction to the products used for under eye fillers. As with any procedure, you should always inform your Doctor of any allergies/sensitivities to medications, herbal supplements, topical products, and other substances, to reduce the risk of having a reaction.
It’s important to make sure that you only go to highly experienced and qualified medical professionals to ensure the highest chance of success and the least amount of risks.
How long does it take to see results from under eye fillers?
The results from under eye fillers typically become visible anywhere from 2-4 weeks after being administered. However, it can take up to 6 weeks to see the full results, since the fillers continue to settle over time.
The full effects may last anywhere from 6 months to a year. The longevity of the results depends on the individual and the type of filler used. Your provider can give you a better estimate of how long the results may last in your case.
Does eye filler look better over time?
Yes, eye filler can definitely look better over time. Most people who have filler treatments done around their eyes notice a gradual improvement in their appearance as the filler begins to dissolve, which gives them a more youthful, smooth, and desirable appearance.
The results of eye filler treatments are not permanent and typically last for about 6 months to a year. During this time, the product is absorbed back into the skin, resulting in a gradual decrease in volume, which makes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around the delicate eye area appear minimized.
At the same time, the skin around the eye area gradually adapts to the filler and looks smoother, more toned, and less sunken than before treatment. Eye filler can also help improve the overall structure of the eye area as well, including improved skin texture and fullness in the upper and lower lids.
Once the filler dissipates after 6-12 months, the skin around the eye area is left with a more youthful, refreshed look. It is important to note that each person responds differently to filler treatments, so the results and longevity of treatment can vary from person to person.
Can fillers make under eye worse?
Fillers can make under eye areas worse if they are not administered carefully and with precision. Fillers should be placed only in specific anatomical locations and administered judiciously to avoid creating excess volume in the delicate area beneath the eyes.
Injecting into the wrong area can create an undesirable look and even long-term risks, such as tissue damage, because the skin around the eyes is delicate and susceptible to injury. Additionally, if the injection is done too close to nerves, it can cause nerve damage or reduce nerve sensation.
Fillers may also cause lumps, swelling, and bruising, which can all worsen the appearance of the under eye area. For these reasons, it’s important to find an experienced, board-certified aesthetic professional, such as a dermatologist or plastic surgeon, to perform the procedure.
Do fillers look better after a few days?
It typically depends on the filler that was used and the area that it was injected into. Some fillers such as hyaluronic acid fillers may look better after a few days. As the filler binds to water in the body, the treated areas can become slightly larger, more hydrated, and slightly smoother.
That said, there may be slight redness, tenderness, and swelling around the treated areas that can last up to a week, but may be less noticeable after a few days. On the other hand, some fillers, like Sculptra and Radiesse, may need a few weeks before the full effect of the treatment is visible.
In general, if you are unhappy with the overall results you should discuss with your healthcare provider.
How long after fillers do you look normal?
It depends on the type of facial filler used. Typically, after receiving a facial filler, you can expect the results to look natural and subtle within 2-3 days once any swelling or redness has subsided.
However, it may take up to 7-10 days for the filler to settle in and fully integrate into the tissue, giving you the most natural-looking results. Some types of facial fillers may take longer to integrate than others, so it is important to discuss the specifics with your injector.
If you had a light to medium-depth filler, it should look completely natural within 2 weeks. After that, the results will last for up to a year.
Why do I have dark circles under my eyes after filler?
Having dark circles under the eyes after filler can be caused by several different things. The most common cause of dark circles under the eyes is an incorrect injection technique. When fillers are not properly and evenly injected, they can deposit too much product under the eyes and cause them to look darker.
This can also occur if there is too much friction associated with the injection, or if the products are too close to the eyelids. Additionally, dark circles can be caused by the swelling and bruising caused by filler injections.
Swelling and bruising can both cause the under-eye area to darken and appear more pronounced. Finally, dark circles can be caused by a lack of hydration or an excessive build-up of free radicals in the area.
It is important to keep the face well hydrated in order to ensure the filler product is evenly integrated into the skin. Additionally, adding an antioxidant serum to your skincare routine can help reduce free radical damage and further minimize dark circles.
Who is not a good candidate for under eye filler?
A person who is not a good candidate for under eye filler is an individual who has certain medical conditions that can interact negatively with the filler, such as untreated eye conditions, active infections or other skin conditions around the eye area, auto-immune or connective tissue disorders, bleeding disorders or who is pregnant or breastfeeding.
Additionally, a person who has had a bad reaction to a certain type of filler in the past or a person who has unrealistic expectations of the results from the filler may be considered a poor candidate for this treatment.
It is important for a patient to be open and honest about their health history, so their doctor can determine if the procedure is right for them.
