How long does it take for under eye filler to resolve? (Photo)

Question

I had undereye filler about 4 days ago but the swelling has left small bumps under my eye. Should I get this dissolved? It’s close to Christmas and I’m embarrassed by the way I look. Not sure if I’m being inpatient or if my eyes didn’t suit well with the filler this time. I didn’t have such bruising and swelling before.

If you are worried about your filler results because there is swelling, lumps or bumps, give it 2 weeks to settle and then consider reversing it with hyaluronidase.   in the mean time you can use redlight such as lightstim, radiofrequency such as exilis ultra and venus legacy.  The cheeks always should be injected when doing the under eye and you maybe swollen because of poor technique so see an expert for the best treatment and management. Fillers last 6-12 months in this area.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Hi @JackieGRR! I recommend waiting a full two weeks for swelling to subside. If you are unhappy with the results after two weeks, you can dissolve the product with Hyaluronidase. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!

You should give atleast two weeks of time to assess any results. Within this time frame, swelling will decrease and hydration in the filler component will increase. 
Bruising and swelling is a normal sequelae of the procedure and it is not necessary that it may come every time. It does not mean that the filler is not suiting you. Enjoy your christmas and apply some concealer and meet your treating doctor after required time.

I would wait a few more days before deciding to have the filler dissolved. The swelling will get better and may take a few days to two weeks to resolve. Depending on type of filler used fillers can last anywhere from 6 months to a year to a year and a half.

It's too soon to make a judgement and to dissolve your filler as it hasn't settled down yet. It takes approximately two weeks for the swelling to fully come down and I'm saying that even though I do not like using Juvederm or Restylane in the lower eyelid area. If you seem to have the same problem two weeks from now I would recommend dissolving some of the filler with hyaluronidase and have fat grafting to the area instead as it will produce more natural results. Good luck from New York City
