Eye bags worse after filler Restylane under eyes. Is it fluid or fat? Is surgery a good choice? (Photo)

Asked By:BlueBosch in New York, NY

I tried restylane in the under eye area. (5 months ago) It didn't give me good results. I'd rather have them removed by a surgeon. Now I am affraid that besides the fat, there is some fluid retention that doesn't change during the day (since filler) Especially under the right eye. I went to a certified surgeon who said it is fat and it can be removed. But I am not sure. Will it do more harm? Is it fat or fluid? Should I wait untill the filler is totally resolved? Any other advize is welcome
