I had restalyne injected in my tear troughs 1 1/2 years ago and juvederm about a year ago. I went 6 months ago to have it dissolved do to excess swelling and have been left with two lumps under my eyes that makeup just can't hide. I went back to my injector to get the rest dissolved and was told he couldn't do to to dissolving agent damaging my natural skin. . Can you please tell me if this looks like excess filler and should I seek a second opinion?
Answer: Dissolving fillers under the eyes Thank you for your question hmowens0127. I understand your concern. Juvederm is a hyaluronic acid filler designed to enhance the appearance of the face. It is difficult to make an assessment without before photographs. However, fillers such as Juvederm can be dissolved with hyaluronidase if the desired results are not achieved. Multiple session may be necessary and I perform treatments every two weeks until the desired results are achieved. Sometimes the products move closer to the skin surface and hyaluronidase needs to be placed in that plane. I prefer using a softer filler such as Restylane or Volbella in this area. Please consult with a doctor for specific recommendations. Good luck!

Answer: #TEAR TROUGH RESTYLANE The tear trough is very sensitive to injectables and the problem you have is one I've seen multiple times from inexperienced injectors. Hyelenex won't damage your skin and that would be the first treatment I would try in your case. Failing that, a tiny amount of dilute steroid into the lumps would help if there is actually scar tissue present. The last resort would be direct excision using a tiny incision that would be virtually imperceptible.
