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.

Any other advize is welcome
