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).

This would allow you to try on the look before committing to a permanent option like fat or implants. I ...

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

These fillers (belotero, volbella, restylane silk) are good for under the eye, but keep in mind, a combination approach will give the most improvement. Fillers, lasers, and microneedling/PRP can improve under the eyes tightness. My patients try to get non surgical treatments to avoid surgery. We...
