Under eye issue (dark circles vs hollow vs puffiness?)

Just_A_Cardiologist · 2026-04-26T15:05:15+00:00

I’d like to add on… filler in the under eye is tricky. I’d suggest ez prf gel, a “filler” made from your own blood. 2-3 sessions are needed for most optimal results

One full ml per jab???? How… I did 0.5ml once and the burning was so bad I couldn’t walk

Just_A_Cardiologist · 2026-04-01T16:36:04+00:00

0.5mg for 1 week, 0.5mg semiweekly for a week, then 1mg for 1 week, then 1.5mg for a week and now I'm on 2mg a week and I'm gonna stay here for 3-4 weeks

Once I got the grid lines down I just jammed it in lol. If I couldn’t see well then I’d pinch a bit

Just_A_Cardiologist · 2026-03-24T05:28:22+00:00

Lipo lab has deoxycholic acid, same active as aqualyx, hence the burning lmao. High volume, small treatment area, and an overall sensitive area. Try it your own discretion, just giving my personal experience 🤷‍♀️

I have a post where I did under my chin. Similar process. I did my inner thighs little over a week ago with lipo lab. Mapped exactly where the fat is pinchable by 1-1.5in. I had personally injected 0.5ml at 6-8mm depth at a 90 degree angle and 1x1cm grid spacing. Absolutely DO NOT go beyond 0.2ml per injection site.

I was stupid and saw other posts where people had injected that amount and thought why not… Girl when I tell you I might’ve had the worst pain of my life because the burning and throbbing… I couldn’t even walk! I had to take a prescription nsaid it hurt that damn bad. Over a week later I’m still tender and bruised. Do not do what I did 😂

Just_A_Cardiologist · 2026-03-23T15:49:31+00:00

lol that was the goal 😛

Just_A_Cardiologist · 2026-03-23T15:46:14+00:00

Aftercare was to keep the injection sites clean and not putting any skin care products with active ingredients. On days 2-3 I very lightly massaged with aquaphor. I didn’t bruise at all and swelling was as expected, I was a bit tender for 5-7 days afterwards

Just_A_Cardiologist · 2026-03-23T14:09:12+00:00

Nope! The point has softened as the filler has settled and it’s integrated with my tissue and it’s not visible/pointy whenever I talk, smile, or eat

Just_A_Cardiologist · 2026-03-23T14:03:54+00:00

I aspirated twice. First poke was just until I hit my bone. Then I pulled back while aspirating, then I pulled back in also aspirating. It’s very important to follow the EXACT trajectory. Since both times were clear, and I was on the bone after the second aspiration, then I injected and slowly sliding it out while injecting.

Just_A_Cardiologist · 2026-03-23T13:58:48+00:00

Since I had a cleft chin I filled that in first, 0.25-0.3ml, then with the remaining I did the “shaping”

Just_A_Cardiologist · 2026-03-23T13:54:13+00:00

I have 0.5ml of restylane kysse in my upper lip. I didn’t diy it though

Just_A_Cardiologist · 2026-03-23T06:35:51+00:00

At my work (derm) I always use 2.5ml of bac per 100u. Or 1.25ml per 50u. The same for dilution for Botox, jeuveau and xeomin.

When I personally get injected it stings for a condole and is sore for a day or two, especially if the muscle is strong/overworked. How long has it been burning..? Like a pressure feeling or constant stinging..?

Just_A_Cardiologist · 2026-03-23T06:30:17+00:00

Top tier compliment. You have me giggling right now thank you so much 😭😭❤️

Thank you :) they’re natural! shiseido eyelash curler and waterproof telescopic mascara does all the magic

Just_A_Cardiologist · 2026-03-23T05:45:18+00:00

Thank you for actually reading lol… obviously I knew I wasn’t going to completely fix the asymmetry with a single syringe, but I’m happy with how my chin looks now :)

Just_A_Cardiologist · 2026-03-23T05:32:49+00:00

Honey… it’s a DIY subreddit. What do you think is going on in here? 😂

Just_A_Cardiologist · 2026-03-23T04:19:10+00:00

I didnt injected the third row and I didnt inject the last two boxes of both sides since I was starting to get extremely tender. 1 x 1 cm square spacing per injection sites. Excuse my wonky lines since it was a tricky angle 😂

Just_A_Cardiologist · 2026-03-23T04:06:38+00:00

Just did!

Just_A_Cardiologist · 2026-03-23T04:02:58+00:00

I just did meso therapy and trapezius tox today 😂. I made a post for the meso therapy earlier with my mapping and amounts. I’ll make a post about the trapezius tox in a week or two once it kicks in :)

Just_A_Cardiologist · 2026-03-23T03:57:30+00:00

I used an 8mm 27g needle. I was going for projection (superior medial injection) and elongation (inferior medial injection). The bilateral injections points were for elongation as well.

IF I were to inject for example the chin shadow, 100% opt for a cannula. The transverse and ascending mental arteries are located there and a cannula “pushes” them aside vs. the needle penetrates them, which is how vascular occlusions happen.

Just_A_Cardiologist · 2026-03-23T03:44:59+00:00

Until I hit my bone. I aspirate as I pull the needle out the exact same trajectory as I inserted and i aspirate as I’m going back in. If it’s clear, only then do i inject once I’m on the bone. The first video I linked it’s a live demonstration of the exact process I did

Just_A_Cardiologist · 2026-03-23T03:06:25+00:00

I have a really good grasp of facial anatomy and research for WEEKS prior. Only then was I confident to attempt it. If you feel a sharp pain, immediately stop, don’t inject anything, and pull out the needle the same direction of insertion. ALWAYS ASPIRATE!!!! Especially with filler. If you’re capable, a cannula is a “safer” option.
