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: Volbella swelling when drinking alcohol I am so sorry that you are experiencing this. You need to have this assessed in person by a really experienced injector such as a board certified plastic surgeon or cosmetic dermatologist. I think that you are going to have to have at least some of the Volbella dissolved.

Answer: Swelling after Volbella Thank you for your question and for submitting your photos. I'm sorry to hear about the complications you have been experiencing after your filler injections. I have seen a few patients who have experienced intermittent swelling after under eye filler injections, often associated with mild illnesses or allergy flares - in many cases, I feel that this is related to impaired lymphatic drainage due to superficial filler placement around the eyes. The relationship with alcohol intake is interesting. I would recommend scheduling a consultation with a cosmetic dermatologist to discuss your concerns. Best of luck!
