What did I do to my under eye filler? I have swelling every single morning after massaging the area (Photo)

Question

Araound 1.5 years ago i got an under eye filler operation. It was good actually but there was just a little problem under my left eye. I was not able to see my doctor so i called him and he suggest me to do massage that area. I don't know what i was thinking but i did that massage very harsly. Since then under my left eye swelling every single morning. I use hot water on it and do massage to fix it. It goes normal after a while but even it is smooth it looks asymmetrical to my right eye.

If you're unhappy with your final results, you can have the filler dissolved with hyaluronidase and try a different technique next time. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

If HA filler was used, then it would be reasonable to consider dissolving it with the use of hyaluronidase, especially since filler injection results under the eyes can last quite a long time, sometimes up to several years. In the event that another filler was used or that this is swelling from lymphatic drainage problems, the so called infraorbital "puffy pillow," the addition or substitution of the use of intralesional injections of anti-inflammatory agents, such as triamcinolone and/or 5-FU would be reasonable to consider. I have dealt with a number of such situations of patients who have come to me complaining of this problem. Several treatment sessions are typically required. Make sure to consult with a board certified cosmetic dermatologist and best of luck.

Your underage filer should be dissolved but you will need some other treatment for making the circulation better around your eyes.
