Dissolving upper eyelid filler and rolling acne scars (Photo)

mj2329Nov 13, 2024
Hi I was wondering if dissolving my upper eyelid fillers would be advantages to the overall harmony/balance of my face? I had them injected by a board certified plastic surgeon twelve years ago after noticing a slight reduction of fullness in that area. I was advised by the surgeon that it would look strange to have that much filler administered, however, I insisted on proceeding with it. I have provided a current pic and a pic of my younger self.

There are individuals who get an inflammatory response to injections. However, if you have had prior injections without an inflammatory reaction, then it is likely the explanation for what is going on is less likely to be this.

This will not "wear" off. The lip shelf is from overfill and migration. It looks unnatural. This will need to be removed with enzyme. The tissue should be allowed to recover 10 to 15 days before the filler treatment is replaced with a higher G prime filler. The best of these is Restylane. The...
