Eye festoons and bags after hyaluronidase - how to fix? (photos)

Question

Hi there, after a really unpleasent experience with tear trough injections which left me with hematoma big malar bags and brown discoloration i have decided to resolve the filler. My eyes looked better after hialuronidase but it left me with festoons in both eyes. i tried 3 more times to dissolve it but the festoons remained. I had an US and it was found theres a small amount of filler left ,but my doctor says he doesnt think thats the cause. Is this permanent? How do i resolve this? Help!

At home peels like cosmelan, enlighten and aerify along with dermarolling (MTS roller with anteage MD ampules) should be started now. There are many things you can do to treat under eye hollows and dark circles. A surgical option to remove skin and/or fat will such as lower eyelid blepharoplasty with or without fat pad repositioning will be the best long term. There are many things you can do to treat under eye hollows and dark circles without surgery. Non invasive less downtime options such as fillers (Belotero, Juvederm Volbella​), lasers (Moxi/Halo/Fraxel/CO2​), Renuvion (J-Plasma), microneedling/PRP, stem cells and microneedling RF like Fractora PiXel8 or Morpheus can all help give some improvement. Accutite can often be used or stronger lasers like erbium or co2 spot treatment can tighten the skin and give very quick improvement in wrinkles and texture. A surgical option to remove skin and/or fat might be the best solution long-term. I suggest you get a formal consultation to see what is best for you and your goals. Best, Dr. Emer.
