I had Boletero 8 weeks ago ½ syringe on both cheek so not much , but now have a massive bag under the corner on my left eye , it looks AWFULL the doctor told me it was water retention I have never suffer from puffy eyes in my life and now look awful , she told me that putting some hyaluronic acid could make it worse , how long would this go and must of all will it go ? I am doing some radio frequency to help but without any result . I have sent another post but without photos here are some photos, any advise on how long this will stay under my eyes ??

Great review?

Nearly 5 months and i still have puffy eyes ;-(( I have tried everything , but i am still to scared to have a hyaluronidase injection in case it make it worse. Does anyone else had the same problem with fillers and how long it lasted ? The puffiness under eyes my left eye in now very wrinkle compare to the right one which make me look very odd . Any suggestion ?

Tell your injector to inject the area with hyaluronidase, it will dissolve the HA instantly. I haven't heard anything good about that product.

Oh my goodness. :( I'm so sorry to hear what you are having to deal with.

I saw that you submitted a question to the doctor Q&A section and I'm really glad you did. Hopefully the opinions they share will be helpful to you.

You mentioned you had the Belotero injected into your cheeks. Did you also have some injected into the under eye area? I'm thinking no, but just want to make sure I'm understanding correctly.

No she didnt inject under eyes just in the cheeks and only 1/2 syringes on each side so not much, she didn’t use a needle she did it with a Cannula,, you can’t see much on the photos they look a lot worse in real and are very big in the morning and evening . I only wanted to have my nose to mouth done, she filled them juverderm ultra 3 but she put too much , and I ended up looking miserable , so she suggested to put some in the cheeks to lift the lined she used Belotero ,but then I ended up with bags and it make me look even more miserable, I am doing some radio frequency with Try Active to try to break down the fillers because I am too scared to have hyaluronic acid after what I have read and it is soo close to my eyes, but so far nothing . My eyes are now looking very wrinkly when I smile due to the bags . I soo regret to have it done now and wouldn’t recommend anyone to have it done because it doesn’t work on everyone and if like me it isnt for you, you are stuck with Edema under your eyes which make you look 5 to 10 years older . and I don’t know how long for ;-(((

I can definitely understand why you would be upset by that. Hopefully it will move through your system quickly and your eyes will go back to the way they were before. Please keep us updated on how you are doing and what changes you are seeing, k?

i think people should know the risk , the doctor who did this is very good and i have used her before and never had a problems, never had my cheeks done there though but i dont think is her fault , it just didn’t agreed with me and after reading about it, it seem it is not that uncommon to have water or edema under your eyes after having your cheeks done , so I think anyone who have it done should know the risk. I wont do it again , as I look worse with bags.

Yes, I agree and am glad you are sharing your experience with us so others can learn from it. I just wish you didn't have to experience it. :-/
