Restylane injected on orbital bone rim area 7 months ago. It actually magnified the fat bulge. The filler laid directly on the bulge. Ten weeks later, left eye injection grew x2. Remained this size until use of Hyaluronidase. Two mths later the bulge reduced 2/3rd. Now smile shaped “noodle” lay on rim of my orbital bone. Some natural skin thickness seems gone too.
