How long does Volbella last in tear troughs? I was overfilled and would rather not have hyaluronidase.

Question

Douglas Wu, MD · Answer

You don’t mention how long ago you received Volbella to fill in your tear troughs. If it was just a couple of weeks ago, you may still be swollen and are not yet seeing your results. If it’s been longer than that and you are still looking overfilled,the duration of Volbella depends in part on how much was used.  A rough estimate is that it will likely last between 9-12 months. Your dermatologist should offer you hyaluronidase for free to correct a poor result.It is a safe and effective treatment option.  You should still be left with sufficient Volbella to correct the hollow tear troughs, but won’t have the overfilled look that upsets you. Please call your board-certified dermatologist to have your tear troughs corrected.

IF your tear troughs are overfilled with volbella it may take up to 2 years for them to somewhat go down to normal. I would strongly recommend going to get some hylauronidase injected, it can be injected so not all the product that was injected it dissolved. make sure that two weeks has past following injection ans there is not evidence of bruising to have them dissolved.

Unfortunately Volbella lasts for about a year, if you are unhappy with the results you can have it reversed with hyaluronidase injections but I would wait at least two weeks post injection before reversing it. How long doesVolbella last in tear troughs?

Thank you for sharing your question.  Volbella will last between 12-18 months in the undereye region, so if you feel over-filled you may want to strongly consider hyaluronidase for faster correction.  Be sure to see an ASPS board certified plastic surgeon in consultation to discuss.

Volbella may last about a year in this area. Keep in mind, a combination approach will give improvement under the eyes. I recommend fillers with lasers and microneedling/prp to get the best results. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer
