Best filler for inner eye hollowness.... (photos)

mollygirlApr 29, 2015
Ten months post upper bleph. Had two fat pads removed from inner upper left lid near nose and one from right. Aside from the constant discomfort in left eye, I feel hollow. Is fat or filler best in this area. Also any suggestions for asymmetry? Thank you.

Thank ypu for ypur question.  You have a improved result after filler. Your still swollen after your filler injection and the swelling will last for another 1-2 weeks.  I would not advise adding more filler to the area.  Discuss your concerns with ypur injector.

Hi,Restylane absorbs water from surrounding tissue so it may make the injected area look swollen after injection. That's why I choose radiesse as the first choice product for non-surgical rhinoplasty. This may take some time to resolve or your doctor can dissolve it at some point.Best,Dr.S.

Hi @rachela56! Swelling and bruising are common after dermal fillers. It should take 1-2 weeks to subside. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!
