I would suggest Hidef Hyaluronidase injections to eliminate the residual filler in the area of concern. Results with HA fillers is excellent. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianLos Angeles

Filler cannot migrate months after injection unless it is silicone.  Please see your physician or consider a formal consultation with an expert.  Best, Dr. Emer.

I have never seen a case where I was convinced that the filler migrated. It generally stays where you place it. For your concerns, you need to go back to the person who did the injections and ask them.

Thank you for your question.  Based on the change of your under eye area, I would recommend you see your injector for an evaluation and determination of what this eye lump may be, as once injected Voluma does not readily migrate.

If filler does migrate, it usually happens within days of the injection. Nevertheless, migration could be solved by dissolving it with hyaluronidase. Please contact a qualified provider or a board-certified physician with extensive experience in these procedures.
