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.
Answer: Tear Trough Hi @Trikk42. Hyaluronic acid facial filler products that were previously injected into an improper tissue plane can be dissolved by hyaluronidase injections. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!

Answer: If the filler was a hyaluronic acid filler, then there is ready help for you.
Hyaluronic acid fillers like Restylane and Perlane can be removed or modified with an enzyme, hyaluronidase. Please do not make the mistake of thinking that your injector can also inject the enzyme. It is very common to find injectors who can place the filler but have zero experience working with the enzyme. Properly using the enzyme is also associated with a considerable learning curve. Simply have a frank conversation with your injector. Determine if the product is hyaluronic acid based or not. If so do they have the skill, training, and experience to competently remove the material, if not find someone who does.

Answer: Poor result from filler under Eyes, will it go away?
I agree with the other posts, your fillers looks to be a HA and should be easily dissolved with hyaluronidase. I would return to your doctor that injected you and discuss your concerns and he/she should be able to dissolve it. If your injector does not know how to dissolve it find an experienced injector who does. I doubt you will have any long term effects from the filler as it should dissolve. Good luck.

Answer: It will improve.
The injector that placed the fillers in your eyelids should have the capability to reverse this swelling: an enzyme called hyaluronidase will dissolve the filler [Restylane or Juvederm] rather quickly [within a day or two]. This is commercially available, and every doctors office that carries fillers should have this enzyme available to you at no cost should you be unhappy with the result. This is the policy in our office.
Good luck

Answer: Fillers in lower eyes and appearance
It is hard to say what exactly is going on for you. Are the pictures both recent. Is the first photo an old photo? Are we seeing eye fat bags or filler as those bulges. An exam and better history are essential.
