Dissolving Restylane around the eyes

Greetings~ I'm sorry to hear you were unhappy with your Restylane results in your tear troughs. This is something we do quite a lot and patients are extremely happy. Unfortunately, an experienced injector is essential. If you still notice the bags under the eyes from the Restylane you should certainly consider having it treated with Hyaluronidase to dissolve it...the procedure is quick and painless and you will very soon have the eye area you did prior to Restylane... more

Massage, hyaluronidase or eyelid surgery may solve the problems.

If too much Restylane was injected, hyaluronidase is a good choice. It is possible in some instances to use a cotton-tipped applicator and disperse the Restylane. A specialist would know how to do this. If you have too much fat in your lower eyelids, this may be the cause of the bagginess which has been made worse by the Restylane. In that case, lower eyelid blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) would be the answer.

Restylane - 4 Months After Restylane in Tear Troughs & Cheeks - Hyaluronidase or Wait?

It sounds like hyaluronidase is the right thing for you. Although Restylane and other hyaluronic acids will be absorbed on their own over time, and usually within about 4-6 months, it can last longer.

Unhappy with filler, restylane

Restylane problem under eyes

Although restylane usually dissolves by 6 months or so, around the eyes I have seen it last longer. If you are having problems with it, you may want to dissolve it.

You can't walk around with big bags.

Yes, by all means get this adjusted. The beauty of the hyaluronic acid fillers like Restylane, Juevederm and Perlane is that they can be adjusted. If necessary, all of the volume can be removed with the enzyme Hyaluronidase. You do need to find someone with experience working with this product. I offer this service but if you look around you are likely to find someone close to home to help you.
