Restylane Left Huge Lump Under Eye
I will try to make it as brief as possible. I got restylane under my eye 4 years ago. 1st time was great. 4th time he injected way too much. Thats now 2 ½ years ago. I still got a huge lump under my skin under right eye. If i try to massage it, it is a very hard lump and about 1-2 cm long beneath the skin. I'm so so tired of this saggy look. I'm only 28 years old. I don't want to see that doctor again. What should i do? Could this be scar tissue? Or what do you think?

Restylane under eyes
Restylane does not usually last more than 6 months. That being said, it may have held on a bit longer. If is a hard lump and consistent with filler, then hyaluronidase would still be able to dissolve it.

Restylane can last for several years under the eye - but there is hope
Sorry to hear of your situatation. I have been doing filler under the eye for about 5 years and I have seen it easily last for 3 years or more.Restylane can often be massaged to improve its appearance. I have not ever tried that on Restylane that was placed 4 years ago, though. If it is indeed the filler then a simple treatment of hyaluronidase should help dissolve it. If the bump does not go away after that then it is very possible that it is not Restylane and...

Restylane Bump Under Eye
Sorry to hear about your situation. As the other practitioners have mentioned, it is somewhat unlikely that if the product injected was Restylane that it would last several years.
With that said, if it is Restylane, then Hyaluronidase, the enzyme that dissolves Restylane should be tried first treatment. If this does not work, then it's possible that the product that was injected was not actually Restylane. If this is the case, it's possible that a...

Correction of Restylane Lump Under the Eye
Restylane can persist for quite a while even years under the eyelids presumably because of lack of significant movement of this area. Good technique is critical to achieving good results in the eyelid region and should only be done by physicians with advanced training and years of experience in injectable fillers like Restylane. The good news is that the Restylane can be easily dissolved with an enzyme called hyaluronidase (generic) Vitrase (brand name). Find a doctor...

Lump several years after Restylane under the eyelid
It is very unusual to have Restylane last this long. Possibly it was not the Restylane we're accustomed to using in the U.S., possibly there was another product used, possibly it was the same Restylane and you developed a rare granuloma from it, possibly your Restylane just didn't dissolve as it normally does. If you're examined by a new doctor who thinks it is not scar tissue, then it would be worth a try at dissolving the Restylane, should it be there, with hyaluronidase....

Restylene lump under eye
Unfortunately, rare side effects of hyaluronic acid injections (such as Restylene or Juvederm) can include lump or bump formations, especially if the product is injected in large quantities or superficially. Topical creams, massages, and tincture of time will not always resolve the lump. If you see a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon they would be able to assist you in treating this problem. The best is to see the original doctor, so the provider can learn from this event...
