I’ve had Restylane under my eyes for about three years plus other fillers in my face. Normal to swollen to awful. Went to a new place and the RN does not even remember what she put under my eyes and there is no record. Three rounds of steroid plus dissolving them three times to Juvederm refill trying to make them normal. I cannot even put on moisturizer because my eyes get swollen and watery no matter what I do. Feeling like I’ve developed serious allergies. Super depressed ! Any suggestions?

Answer: #fillerComplications I think its best to seek advise form an Ophthalmologist to see what the cause is for your watery eyes. if the filler is still there it might be causing pressure on the tear ducts. but this is all speculative. without examination by an expert it will just be a guessing game.

Answer: Watery eyes and swelling after under eye filler I’m so sorry to hear this. I have seen this once in my practice and it was with the same product, and it eventually resolved. It is extremely frustrating for the patient (as well as the doctor). You can see delayed-onset hypersensitivity with these fillers even though they are made of materials that are normally found in the body. It sounds like you have had the right treatment if they have dissolved the filler and treated with antibiotics and steroids. It would be worth seeing an ophthalmologist for a more comprehensive eye exam to rule out another cause of the swelling. If it really is a hypersensitivity from the filler, it should eventually resolve but can take months. And I would caution you on receiving fillers in this area in the future. You may want to consider a surgical option or even fat injections.
