Tyndall Effect Resolved
Superficially placed filler on the left lower lid producing a blue-grey Tyndall effect was precisely targeted and dissolved using ultrasound-guided hyaluronidase dosing.
Puffiness Cleared
Bilateral lower lid bulk from irregularly distributed product has resolved, restoring a flat, natural lower lid contour without visible product mass.
Natural Tear Trough Restored
The lid-cheek junction reads as a smooth anatomical curve, with the natural tear trough contour re-established and the orbital rim visible as a clean transition.
Details of the Treatment
The blue-grey under-eye discoloration had been there since her original filler work. She had figured out it was Tyndall effect — superficial filler showing through thin skin — not skin tone.
Periorbital assessment showed bilateral blue-grey discoloration under the lower eyelid consistent with Tyndall effect from superficial filler placement. Mild associated puffiness was present from the product volume itself. The lower-eyelid skin was preserved. The pattern reflected technical placement error in the original injection — too superficial in tissue planes that produce light-scattering interaction with hyaluronic acid. The plan was complete dissolve via hyaluronidase across both lower eyelids.
Hyaluronidase was placed via micro-injection across the affected zones. Tyndall effect resolves within hours of hyaluronidase contact with the offending filler — the optical effect disappears as the product disappears. In the after image, the blue-grey discoloration has resolved and the puffiness has reduced. The lower-eyelid color reads as natural. The face returns to baseline before any new product is considered. In Tyndall cases, the patient's anatomy is the only correct reference — the goal is not new placement but restoration of the original under-eye appearance.
