I got Restylane Lyft injected under my eyes and in my cheek bone area in Dec 2018. In Mar 2019, the area under and the side of my left eye started to swell. This has been happening intermittently since then with the amount of time in-between flare ups ranging from a week to 3 weeks and each flare up lasting 3-4 days. I have seen a handful of doctors with 3 of them attempting to dissolve the filler with Hyaluronidase. I think the filler is in my lymph nodes and thats what causing the swelling.

Answer: Treating intermittent swelling after fillers You still have a considerable amount of hollowness in the lower eyelid and cheek area. I would stop using hyaluronidase. If you go to a plastic surgeon who is well-versed in fat grafting techniques, they should be able to even out both sides of your face and at the same time the swelling that you see you should go away through the use of stem cells that is present in properly selected fatty tissue. This procedure when expertly done has 100% success rate. I hope this helps and good luck from New York City plastic surgery

Answer: Under Eye Problems after Filler I too am sorry you are having so much trouble finding someone who can give you definitive answers to what you should do next. I agree with all 3 of the previous commenters. This is an extremely hard area to treat properly and the majority of injectors really do not know how to treat it. The "knee jerk" reaction is to inject with hyaluronidase, but this may not be what you need. Unfortunately, reactions like yours are more common than thought,and not documented well in the literature. Only a direct exam by a true expert when the area is reactive will allow proper decision making. Triamcinolone could be a reasonable option. Further fill, with either the proper filler or fat, could also be an option. Boston is large enough that you should be able to find someone to help.
