Filler lasting less than a few weeks (under eyes & around chin)? What can be done & what are the alternatives?

Question

I was told I was one of only 4 patients my doctor ever saw whose body dissolved filler This is very distressing as I loved how it looked, but it is gone in 2 weeks, under the eyes and around the chin. I spent so much money and am now the same as I was. what can be done, this does not seem fair. It was Restylane Define. Why would I be so different? What are the alternatives? Can the manufacturer or doctor help me recoup my lost money?

Interesting questions. But in return I have a few questons. 1. Are you sure you had that HA filler injected? 2. Best initial course is to switch fillers to Juvederm VolBella, must have before and staged after photos. 3. Maybe more aggressive nano fat grafting to areas, fee $2,000. 4. Call the Restylane company yourself to file a compliant. Best to virtual consult with...

I would suggest that you obtain a second opinion from someone in your area who has a lot of experience using a variety of injectable fillers.  Fillers around the lower eyelids, require caution.  You might consider injecting with a thicker and more permanent filler.  It can’t hurt to ask to recoup some of your expense.
