A woman has warned of the dangers of under-eye filler treatment.
In a viral video posted to TikTok, user Hannah Chody (@hannahchody) revealed the unexpected results of cosmetic injections. In a video released on Wednesday, May 15, she explained that she initially got filler under her eyes to reduce dark circles.
“I made a stupid little decision a few years ago to get some under-eye filler,” Chody began the video, which has been viewed more than 664,000 times. “I’ve always had bags under my eyes. It's been an insecurity of mine since high school. Naturally, nothing much happened there.”
They say the results of the under-eye filler treatment 'looked good' at first, but the filler started to wear off over the past two years. That is, until about a month ago when she noticed 'two dimples' forming under her eyes when she smiled. “I was like, ‘What is that?’” she said. Chody recalled:
The Texas-based content creator sent a DM to injector Courtney of Skin Spirit in Austin, who let her know that her under-eye filler had indeed moved. Chody told her viewers that her own filler had gone into 'complete pockets' under her eyes, adding that she looked psychotic when she smiled.
She was immediately “so happy” with her decision after visiting a medical spa to have her under-eye fillers dissolved. But Chody also took the opportunity to send an important message about cosmetic injections.
“I was convinced for two years that the filler was gone,” she said. “I think filler under the eyes is rarely the answer. “I think there might be another solution.”
Like other cosmetic injections, under-eye filler procedures come with certain risks. Patients may seek under-eye fillers to improve dark circles or hollow areas under the eyes. One of the most popular types of fillers is Juvederm, an FDA-approved hyaluronic acid injectable. These injectable fillers are semi-permanent and last between six months and two years.
However, migration occurs when filler moves to an area other than the intended injection site. If the filler under your eyes migrates, it can cause noticeable bumps and make your face look puffy or unnatural.
There are many causes of filler migration under the eyes, including injection method, type of filler used, and over-injection of filler. In these cases, your dermatologist may dissolve the filler with hyaluronidase, an enzyme that breaks down the hyaluronic acid used in fillers.
one person commented under Chody's video. “As someone who has bags under my eyes, I needed this message.”
“Under-eye filler is the only thing I’ve ever wanted to do and I’m so glad I never had it,” another TikTok user wrote.
A third person said, “I had filler under my eyes tested like 5 years ago and I loved it.” “From now on, I will deeply regret it. “I also have strange dimples now.”
most recently, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Alum Lisa Rinna raised eyebrows with her “overstuffed” red carpet look at the 2024 Fashion Trust US Awards. She later admitted she made the mistake of injecting Juvederm's Skinvive into her face, causing it to dissolve immediately.
“Skinvive is not for everyone and wasn’t good for me. Fortunately, we were able to disperse today. Phew,” Rinna responded to cosmetic injector Nicole Smith’s TikTok video.
Meanwhile, model Blac Chyna recently documented her 'life-changing' journey of having her breast and butt implants reduced and her facial fillers melted away. island of love Stars Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Molly-Mae Hague also previously spoke about filler dissolution.
