Could eye drops with steroid dissolve fat and filler around my eyes?

Dissolving skin and fat under the eyes?It would be rather unusual for a steroid Eye drop to cause this kind of a problem. However, steroids can cause atrophy of the tissues. I suggest that you see your prescribing doctor about this complication.Any loss of volume can be treated with a filler injection. If you choose to go that route, make sure you’re seeing an expert in these types of treatments!Have a wonderful recovery, Dr. Aldo

The amount steroids in a steroid eye drop is very small. It is possible that steroid caused some fat atrophy but it is not that likely. I recommend you follow up with your ophthalmologist and discuss your concerns. Once things settle, down you may consider fat transfer to the area. Wishing you the best of health. Dr.Wright

Thank you for your question! The amount steroids in a steroid eye drop is very small. It is possible that steroid caused some fat atrophy but it is not that likely.

Steroids can cause fat atrophy with direct injection into fat tissue. I have never heard of steroid drops causing fat atrophy and they are used very commonly. They certainly will not affect your filler. My guess is you had some subtle swelling prior to using the drops that they may have reduced. Best to you. 

Hello Rayoflight25,Eye steroids would not be expected to dissolve any fat around the eyes.  They merely help with swelling.  It's possible that your filler had caused swelling and now that is not as prominent from the eye drops.  You might want to follow up with your injector and eye doctor to make sure nothing else is going on. I hope this helps and good luck.  

It is highly unlikely that the drops you are using would affect the skin or the filler in any way, especially not with such short-term use. Once you stop the drops, give it some time to re-assess. 

The steroids in the drops circulate around the eye and are primarily absorbed. Some excess goes through the tear duct which ends in the nose. Either way take care of the eye and don’t worry about the filler!

It is highly unlikely that a steroid formulation of eyedrops would make you lose fat as well as fillers in the lower eyelid area. Give yourself a time after you stop using the eye drops and the area around the eye will probably return back to normal appearance. Good luck from New York City
