I got fat injected under my eyes to correct my dark circles. Four weeks later, I'm still very swollen. My left eye isn't TOO bad, but it looks like I have a huge bag under my right eye! I took Medrol, have been eating pineapple and applying Arnica gel, but it just doesn't seem to be getting better. Is it possible to still be THIS swollen, or do you think I was overfilled? If it's swelling, how much longer before I can expect to look normal again? I'm tired of hiding behind sunglasses and hats.
