My surgeon does not want to use dissolver, it’s getting worse. Now Malar bags! Should I do nothing? Get Restalyne? (Photos)

Question

Everyone says get under eyes dissolved but I’ve read horror stories here. My eyes were perfect before this. My oculoplastic Dr. Wants to avoid dissolving. I’ve never tried Restalyne. Should I do that?Or dissolve?or nothing?Which brand is best to dissolve? I’m 48, fair,very thin& delicate skin.My history: 11/17 med spa injected volbella.Then 12/17 went to Dr, he injected my cheeks w/ voluma, it hid lumps but it didn’t last. Then end of 2017 Dr. Put belatero under eyes, now bags!

Hi @eternal optimist I recommend Morpheus 8.  Morpheus8 is a non-surgical treatment for full body skin resurfacing, skin tightening, and fat reduction of stubborn areas. It uses minimally invasive fractional radiofrequency energy (RF) to penetrate the skin deeper than other microneedling devices, triggering the skin’s natural healing response to promote skin tightening and lifting. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!

If you're unhappy with these results, you can have the filler reversed with hyaluronidase. Hope this helps.

Michael A. Zadeh, MD, FACS · Answer

If an in-person evaluation determines that the filler is the cause of your undereye puffiness then I would recommend having it dissolved with Hyaluronidase. Though it may take a couple of sessions, it is a safe process when performed by an experienced injector. You can then start over with a different injector or different filler. I have seen a lot of issues with Volbella when it is injected improperly by inexperienced injectors. More important than the type of filler is the skill of the person doing the injecting. Make sure you are under the care of an experienced physician. Best wishes.

If you are convinced the puffiness is from filler, then it should definitely be dissolved. If you see someone experienced with this procedure, it is extremely safe.

Monika Soni, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. If you are certain that your puffiness is due to filler it can be dissolved with hyaluronidase. It can take multiple treatments of hyaluronidase to fully dissolve the filler. I recommend finding an injector who is willing to dissolve your filler. Best of Luck!
