Restylane keeps disappearing from under eye tear troughs - Help!

By marvista on 02 Mar 2010

Has anyone experienced restylane injected for under eye hollows that disappears or dissolves after about 2-3 days? First time I was injected it was done superficially; went back a week later and was corrected (intentionally) dissolved a week later.

Next two visits (each a week apart), I was re-injected w/restylane, but it kept disappearing (and may have been injected too deep?).

Last visit, I was injected with another filler, it has moved/dropped from the hollows under my eyes, but not completely.

Does this sound normal? Any suggestions? The person injecting was an experienced PA.

Hi Marvista, Injection of material under the eyelids is a most advanced filler technique that should be left to experienced and skilled cosmetically trained physicians. Restylane injections under the eyelids should last one to two years. I would suggest having a physician treat you, and stick to Restylane in this most delicate and unforgiving area. Good luck and be well. Dr. P
