Orbital bone area injection of Restylane, what went wrong? What can be done? (Photo)

July 21, 2017
Asked By:Vickiemj in Dublin, OH

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. At 6 months, the same started in the other injection. At 7 months now; photos show current condition. What could be happening?

Answer: It is very common for doctor's to be timid with the use of hyaluronidase, the enzyme that breaks down Restylane.
