Over the years, dermal fillers have become the go-to solution for under-eye hollows, promising a refreshed, youthful look without surgery. When done correctly, fillers can work wonders. But when placed incorrectly—or by an inexperienced injector—the results can be less than ideal. That’s where Dr. Flora Levin comes in. As an expert in correcting eyelid filler gone wrong, she helps patients who have been left with puffiness, unevenness, or simply too much product under their eyes, restoring a natural and refreshed appearance.
Why Does Eyelid Filler Go Wrong?
Not all injectors are created equal. The delicate under-eye area requires a meticulous technique and an intricate understanding of facial anatomy. Unfortunately, when the filler is placed too superficially, the wrong type of filler is used, or when too much product is injected, patients can end up with lumps, chronic puffiness, or even a bluish tint (the dreaded Tyndall effect).
Many of my patients come to me frustrated and self-conscious, wondering why their “quick fix” left them looking worse instead of better. In most cases, it’s not that filler is bad—it’s just in the wrong place or the wrong hands.
The Art of Filler Reversal
Luckily, bad filler isn’t forever. With hyaluronidase, a specialized enzyme, Dr, Levin can dissolve misplaced or excessive hyaluronic acid filler and bring your eyes back to a more natural state. This process is quick and effective, often restoring your natural look in just a few days.
But filler reversal isn’t just about undoing the past—it’s about creating a plan for the future. In some cases, dissolving the filler allows us to start fresh with a more precise approach, using the right technique, the right product, and the right amount to achieve a truly refreshed, natural look. In other cases, patients realize that their concerns may be better addressed with a more long-term solution like blepharoplasty.
Trust a Specialist to Get It Right
As an oculofacial plastic surgeon, Dr. Levin has spent years studying the intricate anatomy of the eyelid and face. Unlike general injectors, she approaches filler correction with a surgical eye, ensuring that every decision is made to enhance natural beauty—not distort it. Her goal isn’t just to fix what went wrong but to create results that look seamless and harmonious with the rest of your face.
Say Goodbye to Overfilled Eyes
If your under-eye filler isn’t looking the way you hoped, don’t panic! You’re not stuck with it forever.
