I got Volbella done about five weeks ago under my eyes. One syringe under each eye for dark circles. Going in I had minimal circles. I had juviderm under my eyes before with no complications or bruising. This time, the area underneath is dark, with raised bumpy skin. It looks highly discolored. The doctor that did the injections has no logical reason for this reaction. Does anyone here know what happened here? Should I dissolve the filler? Thank you!
