I read that HA fillers retain water. I already have a puffy face/under eyes due to allergies, fluid retention improper lymph drainage, and thought trying a filler would help by adding volume but will HA filler make the problem worse by making more water retention ?

Answer: Unhappy with Lip Fillers (Juvederm, Restylane, Voluma, Vollure)--reverse with hyaluronidase If you're unhappy with your final results, you can have it reversed with hyaluronidase and try a different technique next time. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Fillers: Filler retention Dear bvcx, Thank you for your question. It is difficult to make an accurate assessment and recommendations without an evaluation. I recommend you seek an in-person consultation with a facial plastic surgeon or plastic surgeon who can perform a thorough examination and discuss with you the best treatment options to meet your aesthetic goals. Hyaluronic acid fillers do tend to attract water to create the desired plumping effect so it could potentially enhance or compound any fluid retention issues you have. If you have a volume deficient area and the filler is injected in a conservative manner, you may be able to still achieve the result you are desiring.
