I was born with tired looking eyes. I've gotten filler (tried Restylane, belotero) and it seems they worsen the appearance of my tired eyes because I retain water and am constantly puffy. So since hyaluronic acid dermal fillers cause a lot of water retention, Can using topical creams that have sodium hyaluronate also add to this problem? I'm letting my filler ride out (don't want Vitrase) but I'm wondering if I should stop my moisturizers that have sodium hyaluronate

Thank you for your question. From your photo, your lips look quite full already. However, 0.5ml of Restylane should be good for a touch up to make your lips symmetrical. I recommend having a follow up with your injector to discuss your concerns. Best of Luck!
Hi @eternal optimist I recommend Morpheus 8. Morpheus8 is a non-surgical treatment for full body skin resurfacing, skin tightening, and fat reduction of stubborn areas. It uses minimally invasive fractional radiofrequency energy (RF) to penetrate the skin deeper than other microneedling...
This can be typical after lip filler. I would wait a full 2 weeks before judging the results. If it is after the two week wait, you can have the filler reversed with hyaluronidase.
I hope this helps!
