Two years ago my plastic surgeon injected resta lyn and concealed malaria bags. He did exactly same a month ago but within a week they came back. Doc said I have a lot of water retention and I do wake up with shifting fluid in area? Do I have any other options? Diuretics improve it but not want to stay on them.

Answer: Malar Swelling after tear trough injections Swelling of the area of the malar cheek can develop after tear trough injection if the lympatic drainage of the area is impaired by the filler volume. It is possible that this is related to the filler. If it is unchanged since before the filler, the area may need additional filler and possibly some non-invasive tightening or surgical tightening of the lower lid.

Answer: Restylane and water retention In a word, yes. This part of the anatomy can be particularly unforgiving when it comes to fluid shifts. Certain fillers like Restylane & Belotero "behave" themselves better here, but can still give a displeasing result even when injected appropriately.My recommendation is to wait a few more weeks, and if there is no improvement know that the Restylane can be "dissolved" with hyaluronidase. You will then be back where you started. You may then consider a more definitive rejuvenation procedure, like a lower blepharoplasty. You can see some photos of lower eyelid/cheek rejuvenation with fillers and surgery on my profile page.Best wishes! Harry V. Wright MD, Sarasota, Florida
