Is it normal I feel bumps or little balls under my eyes after doing tear eye trough filler?

Question

I just did a couple of hours ago my eye tear trough filler. I am pretty worried because after touching my under eye area it feels like little balls or bumps ( you can’t see it but you can feel it . ) is that normal ? Thank you . Panicking!

Thank you for sharing your concerns. It is not unusual to feel bumps of the material injected for 1-2 weeks following treatment. They should resolve (smooth out). Gentle massaging can help. See your doctor if they do not improve. Good luck,

Yes, bumps and swelling can be typical following tear trough injections. It can take 1-2 weeks for final results. I would wait a full 2 weeks before judging the results. If it is after the two week wait, you can have the filler reversed with hyaluronidase.
I hope this helps!

Jason D. Bloom, MD, FACS · Answer

I would not worry at this point.  The filler is going to take on some "tissue water" and swell after the procedure and the initial trauma of the needle/cannula/procedure is going to go down, so you will have some volume changes over the next few days.  I would discuss this with your doctor because sometimes I encourage the patients to do some gentle massage under their eyes in order to maintain smoothness there.  Don't panic because after all, if you are not happy, a little hyaluronidase can dissolve the filler you are unhappy with.

Thank you for your question. It is not uncommon to feel bumps of material after injection. It can take up to 2 weeks for all swelling, bruising and bumps to resolve. You can gently massage any bumps to help smooth them out. If you have any concerns after 2 weeks please follow up with your injector. Best of Luck!

hi there
Thanks for your question. You should not be worry if its just few hours ago. It can take to 1-3 week to settle down. If you still have lump after 3 week you should go back to see your plastic surgeon
