How to get rid of knots/bumps under eyes after PRP injection 1 year ago? (photos)

Question

Just wondering if that could have caused them .

Hi, PRP is made by concentrating your own blood and is great for under the eyes precisely because it does not carry the risk of foreign body reaction such as nodules. It is almost impossible for PRP itself to have caused this unless there was something else added to the PRP or if it was contaminated. I would recommend that you contact the practice where you had the procedure done to find out if they combined the PRP with any filler. This is a common practice to help the PRP effects last longer, but the filler can settle just above the ligament in that underlie compartment. If it was a hyaluronic acid filler, it can be dissolved with hyaluronidase.

Good Morning! It's hard to say if the PRP caused that to occur as I haven't heard of that happening before. It could've created inflammation and scarring. Does it fluctuate - say - with a hot day or excess salt in your diet? If so, it could be festooning which is difficult to treat. Although it doesn't entirely look like xanthelasma, it could be. Options would be to try something like Morpheus8 to see if the texture improves. Steroid injections may work. An excision would be a last resort in my opinion. Hope this helps you!
