Would a lower eyelid surgery be my only option to fix this problem from tear trough fillers? (Photo)

Question

I had Juvederm (I can’t remember the exact one, whichever one that can last up to 2 years) almost 3 years ago in my tear troughs by a doctor that was very pushy saying I needed it bc I look very tired, when he was inserting the needle in my right eye, he was a little shaky and pushed it too hard and it jabbed harder than it should have and he swore it would go away but it’s been years and hasn’t. No matter wearing makeup or not it’s visible, is my only choice going to end up being surgery??

You can have this dissolved!  Go to someone familiar with this situation as this is an easy fix in the right hands.  Best Wishes!!

Hi K,
First you must find an expert physician injector with experience.  Next, hyaluronidase should be used conservatively to dissolve the filler.  I do not believe that you will need surgery.  Good luck and be well.

You can dissolve the filler with hyaloronidase injections and this should remove the bump without scars.

Sorry that you are having this issue. There are products that can be injected into the lump to dissolve the filler. F that does not work , Surgery to remove the lump may be necessary and is usually very successful.Hope this helps Edward H Bedrossian Jr MD FACS
