Why did I get a bag after tear trough filler with micro cannula? (Photo)

October 23, 2017
Asked By:heiddy1 in New York, NY

I've injected my tear throughs once a year with Restylane with regular needles and I've had awesome results every time. The last 2 times I've used micro cannulas with different injectors since I've moved to NYC, and both times I've been left with a small bag under my right eye making the line of the hollowness look deeper. Is it the injector's skills? Should I go back to needles? Do I need a lower blepharoplasty? Are needles more precise ?
