Hi there,
Fillers can take a few weeks to yield final results. It is still a little bit early to know for sure. But from what I see, there is too much filler in the tear trough area and none or not enough in the cheek area. Doing fillers in the apple of the cheek or upper portion will help blend and support the filler under the eyes/orbital ridge. You can massage down the area overfilled and it will flatten down or have some dermal filler put in the cheeks which again will help support the orbital ridge and blend more naturally into the existing filler. I’m my Tear Trough video, I discuss why it is important to address the cheek area when doing a tear trough restoration.
Q Does my filler look ok? I was severely hollow but sometimes feel like my face is so big. What do you think? (Photos)

With dermal fillers it is very important to use the right product, proper amount in the proper areas. In your before picture you had very minimal volume loss. Slight upper cheek and mild tear trough. In the after picture the filler is drawing too much water to the tear trough area creating an unnatural look. Filling in the upper lids will only make your eyes look smaller. I would suggest holding off on fillers until the subside a bit. Also, stay hydrated to reduce the puffiness under the eyes. Some light massaging can also help reduce the filler.

Q Lumps on lips 2 weeks after Juvederm XC. Is it going to go down or should I get it dissolved? (Photos)

What’s great about using dermal fillers that are made from Hyaluronic acid is when you “see” a lump after having dermal fillers, you can massage the lump and it will flatten out. With lips in particular, visual lumps can occur in the soft tissue, when the filler settles a little too low. With no other symptoms, it is nothing to worry about. Using Hyaluronidase is not necessary. Instead using your first finger and thumb apply some pressure to either side of the lump. Massage it a few times a day until the lump is no longer visible. It can take a couple weeks to flatten out. If massaging doesn’t work only then I would suggest Hyaluronidase.
