Under Eye (Midface) Swelling After Selphyl Injection Under Eyes 6 Months Ago. What Do I Do?

As you know, Selphyl is a platelet rich plasma mixture derived from your own blood.  Without evaluating your preoperative photographs, it is impossible to know what kind of changes occurred with the injections.  I also do not understand what kind of laser treatment was done.  

With that being said, the bags that are visible I note most prominently on the left side.  You have fullness immediately below the lash line and also over the upper cheek (festoons).  The injections may have been placed   in the incorrect location or have reabsorbed already.  It cannot be determined without pre-op photos.  I would recommend that you return to the Board-Certified plastic surgeon that you saw and discuss this in greater detail with him.  Good luck.

Selphyl is a kind of system utilized to develop apatient’s facial volume and/or contour. It is a mixturefrom the patient’s own plasma plateletsisolated via centrifuge spin. This injection is supposed to be low risk, lowchances of acquiring adverse effects, and low probabilities of developing anallergic reaction since it comes from the patient’s own blood.
With your case, it is difficult to readily evaluatesince there are no pre-op photographs that will help determine the changes thathappened. There is also very little information regarding the laser proceduremade on you. I would highly suggest going back to your board certified doctorto discuss the possible roots of the eye bags return. Alternatively, you can goa different board certified plastic surgeon to ask for a second opinion. Makesure to bring all pertinent data, records, and photos so the new doctor couldevaluate your case accurately.
