Juvederm Volbella or Teosyal under eye to avoid swelling?

Most patients do swell post injections. This is a part of the process and should subside 24-72 hours post injections with your full recovery time being approximately two weeks. See an expert for after care instructions. Best, Dr. Emer. 

This is a question I get from a lot of patients. First the injector needs to be experienced in this area as it is very difficult to inject. Second the choice of filler is also very crucial. The newer fillers bind to water less and much thinner and typically are used more in my office. All fillers swell and can last up to one week. I tell my patients that if swelling is an issue make sure that any environmental allergies are under control to alleviate more swelling than normal. Consider taking arnica montana the day before the procedure as well as several days afterwards. Suggest benadryl at night while there is swelling and zyzal during the day as an anti-histamine response. Keep head of bed elevated and ice for swelling.The other reason some people get a lot of swelling is just too much product is injected inhibiting lymph drainage and its the practitioner that should be able to tell the patient is multiple sittings are needed. When it comes to tear troughs I tell people rather add then take away. Hope this helps and would highly seek out an experienced provider.
