Can PMMA lumps under the eyes be removed by blepharoplasty?

By 2777anon on 10 Apr 2010

I had a filler done in Jan 09 under my eyes. the doctor did not tell me it was a permanent filler(pmma) until I went back a few weeks after due to lumpiness under the eyes. he injected more to try to reduce the apperance now a month later since the last visit the bumps are showing again. I went to see a dermatologist and he told me that I could get kenalog injections to try to reduce it or I could get radiesse to fill in the areas. I really dont want anything anymore. Can eye blepharoplasty remove it??

I am curious if you still have lumps from PMMA. I had Artifill injected under my eyes 8 months ago, and the lump is still there and still looks the very same. I want to have it surgically removed, but I haven't found anyone who had done that.

The doctor didn't tell you it was a permanent filler? That's, of course, illegal (goes to informed consent). What did he tell you that you were getting?
