Residual filler still in tear trough over 3.5 years later? Can this be fixed? (Photo)

Asked By:haylesjc in Melbourne, AU

Over 3.5 years ago I had tear trough filler (I think was both juvederm and restylane). Not long after I had some issues with it being a bit lumpy especially on the right side. It lasted around 6 month or so however, ever since then, I've always felt that there was still some remaining on my right side, as occasionally when I get sick/teary my tear trough on my right side swells up and aches/stings a bit. Also in recent months I've noticed a pronounced indentation when I smile.
