Tear trough filler procedure gone wrong. Is it me or is it my doctor? (Photos)

Asked By:Annabelle81 in Frankfurt am Main, Hessen, Германия
Hello. Few weeks ago I have had tear through filler (Restylane 1 ml) which sank down badly. Doctor had to dissolve it and re- do it (this time injecting less and going deeper than previously). Same thing happened. :-( I have slept on my back after the treatment and was trying not to bend my face down for a few days after the operation. The doctor is suggesting that it might be my face that’s reacting so weirdly. Is he right? Or should I ask for my money back and look for another doctor? Thanks!

Hi @iris201807. I recommend waiting a full two weeks for swelling to subside. If you are still noticing asymmetry after two weeks, you can add additional filler at that point. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!
Hi @RSMember2242! It can take 1-2 weeks for the swelling to subside. If you are unhappy with the results after two weeks, you can dissolve the product with Hyaluronidase. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!
Restylane Refyne and Silk are both good options for the lips. Restylane Refyne has been a favorite in our practice as it delicately hydrates the lip and perioral lines without significant swelling or downtime.
