Back in November, my then boss injected Volbella under my eyes. 2wks later I had a glass of wine and one of my under eyes started swelling. I didn't realize it was the Volbella till later on-I would notice every time I drank my right eye would swell up. I feel this itchy pressure in the front corner of my eye, then a min later I start sneezing, & then my eye swells. Months have gone by since injection & it's still happening. Will this go on forever? This has never happened. HELP!

Answer: Unhappy with Tear Trough Injections--Fillers-Belotero, Restylane, Juvederm--reverse with hyaluronidase
Yes. Some patients do experience this kind of delayed swelling in the tear trough area. Make an appointment to see your injector about having some of the filler dissolved. So sorry that you are experiencing this.
Both Vollure (called Vollift in Europe) and Volbella are both HA fillers in the Juvéderm family. The difference really come down to the thickness or weight of the fillers. Volbella is a very light weight, thin filler while Vollure has more structure. The right one is really going to depend on yo...
In my experience, no, Volbella does not cause headaches. My guess is that these events are unrelated. I would suggest that you see a chiropractor to find out if your neck is out. This can cause the kind of persistent headache that you describe.
