Why: I was told this product would not cause lumps or granulomas. I specifically asked about this side effect. I was reassured that it would not cause lumps and was the best product option. I later learned that he had only started doing evolence injections 3 months before my visit.
I had lines under my eyes not fully treated with botox and dark circles in the tear trough. Evolence was recommended by my dermatologist over juvaderm. I was told I would have brusing around my eyes (which lasted 10 days) and some swelling.
The brusing and swelling subsided. About two weeks after the filler, I noticed lumps developing. I tried massage (and still do so daily) with only temporary visual improvement. It has now been 4 months and I still have visible lumps under both of my eyes.

I had evolence injected under both eyes and one side under the nose and mouth area. I made the mistake of asking the doctor to put more under the right eye to fix the hollowness. This was the worst thing I ever did. I have two large lumps under my right eye. A plastic surgeon told me that the only way to get rid of it is have it cut out which would cause a scar. I would never do this again if I knew I had to walk around with lumps for the rest of my life.

For future reference one of the benefits to choosing an HA like Juvederm or Restylane is that if you don't like it...there is a compound that can make it go away in seconds. Nothing ever has to be cut out.
