Under eye fillers migration removal?

For addressing the issue of under-eye filler migration without using hyaluronidase (hyalase) due to an allergy, there are a few alternative approaches you might consider:

Manual Massage: Sometimes, gentle massage by a skilled professional can help redistribute the filler. However, this is more effective shortly after the filler is placed and might not be as effective after a long period.

Laser Treatments: Certain laser treatments can help break down fillers. However, this approach depends on the type of filler used and should be discussed with a dermatologist or cosmetic surgeon.

Surgical Removal: In some cases, surgical intervention might be necessary to remove the filler. This is typically considered a last resort due to the invasiveness and potential for scarring.

Time: Over time, fillers naturally break down and are absorbed by the body. This process can take longer for some individuals, but it is a non-invasive option.

It's important to consult with a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon who can evaluate your specific situation and recommend the best course of action. They can provide a thorough assessment and discuss the potential risks and benefits of each option.

After a year and a half there is not likely to be much filler left. You may want to allow the remaining filler to dissolve gradually. Massaging the area or use of lasers can sometimes be recommended. You can visit with your injector to determine if the lumps can be excised if desired.

Dear Easygoing,
As you have experienced, HA fillers to the lower eyelid can be risky. I would ask how you know that you are highly allergic to hyaluronidase? Perhaps you should have a formal allergy test done for it, since it is the best way to remove excess/persistent HA filler. The other option would be surgical removal. Good luck!
