I had 1 ml of filler under each eye as I was told my hollows were quite deep. It looked great in the office. I had no bruising at all. But from day 2, there has been lots of swelling without a bruise. The swelling did reduce over the past 10 days but still persists. My under eyes feel lumpy to touch. I need it to look better in another 15 days for a very important event. When will I see final results? At present it is not an improvement over the hollows at all.
Answer: Either too much filler, or the wrong type of filler has been used. At this point, it is unlikely that things will significantly improve. It sounds like you have had a highly cohesive filler used. These are very hydrophilic, drawing in water a few days after the application, which contributes to the lumpiness. In any case, 1ml per side is a lot for the tear trough area and I am not spruced you getting problems. You will need to have these dissolved away, and then refilled in a more conservative fashion. Best of luck for your future treatment.

Answer: Correction of fillers on the face Fillers can often absorb water in the first few days causing lumps or irregularities. I suggest applying Plato's Bruise Balm twice daily for a few days after injecting my patients. If the filler lumps do not resolve, then a small injection of Hylenex usually can correct an HA filler that is overdone.
