Restylane under eye injections gone wrong (Photo)

Question

I have recently (approx 3 weeks) had under eye treatment with restylane and the effect has left me with huge under eye bags. Is there anything other than further treatment I can do to reduce this? Creams, home remedies? I saved especially to have this done and I can’t afford additional treatment. I also had it done on a break away so cannot go back to the provider. I don’t want to get out of bed I’m heartbroken. I look awful. Thank you for any advice that may help x

Thank you for sharing your question and posting your photograph. You probably would benefit from injection of hyaluronidase to dissolve the filler. Next time make an appointment for consultation with an experienced Oculoplastic Surgeon for evaluation and guidance. You might benefit from other procedures available.Good luck,

I'm sorry you're unhappy with your filler results. You can have the filler reversed with hyaluronidase. It may take a series of treatments. Hope this helps.

This will not resolve on its own.  It neededs to be shaped with small amounts of hyaluronidase. Go back and ask your injector for this adjustment. Don't wait for this to resolve on its own because it won’t.

Unfortunately I see this everyday at my complications clinic. It is normally a result of over injection in the area. The tear trough area must be respected and treated delicately by the surgeon performing the procedure. I recommend you go to someone who can dissolve the filler and your problems should improve.

Thank you for your question. You did not mention how long ago you had treatment. It is common to have some swelling and bruising after treatment which can last up to 2 weeks. If it is after the 2 week mark you can have the filler dissolved with an enzyme known as hyaluronidase. I recommend having a follow up with your injector for an evaluation and to discuss your concerns. Best of Luck!
