Prolonged Swelling after Restylane Injection Under Eye (photos)

December 23, 2023
Asked By:Cheerful9809 in Hamburg, Hamburg, Deutschland

Dear community, I would like to ask whether the swellings that have present underneath my eyes from filler treatment in the tear trough need to be dissolved. It has been 4 months since the original injection and the swelling has actually worsened over time. The area also feels very tender/swollen. Is there a chance that this issue will resolve on its own over time? I am hesitant to get the filler dissolved because many people report that hyaluronidase has made it all worse for them. Thank you!
