Will dissolving my upper eyelid filler cause my eyelids to sag? (Photos)

Randy3241May 23, 2018
Had upper eyelid filler 6 weeks ago. I realize now I am not right candidate. My eyes look very heavy and puffy to me. They swell a lot every morning. I am considering dissolving the filler but worried my eyelids will be saggy? Will this be the case or will they contract back to normal? They seem very stretched to me. Also is it possible to remove all the filler in one appointment (about 0.6cc per side used).

Filler itself should not cause muscles to spasms. If it persists, I recommend following up with your Doctor. If you're unhappy with your results, you can have the filler reversed with hyaluronidase. Best, Dr. Emer

I'm not a fan of mixing saline with hyaluronic acid based fillers. I do know of several of my colleagues that do this. They are trying to make the product a different consistency whether it be to make it easier to inject or better for a particular area of the face. In my opinion, the...

So sorry that you've had this trouble. we know now that most juvederm products don't belong under they eyes - they end up attracting more fluid, and can easily be overfilled. while hyaluronidase does dissolve the juvederm, it does not damage native hyaluronic acid. what you see now be related to...
