Silicone Reversal Requires Surgery
I would speak with a facial plastic surgeon or oculoplastic surgeon about your concerns. Unfortunately, the only way to reverse silicone injections is to surgically remove the silicone. There are some other options to camoflauge the results but this can involve additional fillers or fat.

There is no easy correction of Silicone under the eyes (or anywhere else)
Silicone was touted as a wonder filler in Plastic surgery. Several times in its checkered history.
