Horrible Results from Filler Under my Eyes. Will It Go Back to Normal or Will I Have to Have Surgery to Correct It? (photo)

May 19, 2012
Asked By:Trikk42

I had fillers injected under my eyes for eye hollows. Now I am left with bags and creases. Did the filler cause perminant damage to the skin under my eyes? I now have bags, creases and sagging that was never there before. I did go to a surgeon who did not do the fillers and she said that it looked like the skin is stretched and that I would probably need lower eye surgery to correct it. From my research, I keep seeing that it will return to pre-filler condition. Any advice is appreciated. The before photo is from about 1+ years ago. I did not have bags or creasing/wrinkles under my eyes prior to the filler. I had filler injected because I thought it would correct the circles under my eyes.
