Hi Doctors! I had two syringes of Restylane injected under my eyes last February that left a vein like lump under my left eye, which I later had dissolved. Since then, I visited an oculoplastic surgeon that injected a bit more Restylane under both eyes, and also had voluma placed in my cheekbones. I feel that I look much worse than before I did anything, as my under eyes now look older than my age (30), and it looks as if I have a triangle shape underneath my eyes. Can this be fixed and how?

Answer: Correcting under eye filler Based on your photos and your age, 2-3 syringes of Restylane under the eye is likely too much volume. The under eye does not require large amount of filler in general and can often be overfilled if done too aggressively. The Voluma may also be contributing to your result if it was injected in the wrong place. The best way to fix your problem is to dissolve most or all of the filler in the under eye and cheek region. This is done with an injection hyaluronidase. Once the filler is gone, you can get back to your baseline. Then I would recommend visiting a facial plastic surgeon or plastic surgeon who specializes in the face and has a lot of experience with fillers and the under eye region in particular. Careful injection of the right amount of filler in this area can give you an excellent result.Best of luck!

Answer: Fillers under eyes It appears you are way overcorrected and the filler ,may not be placed exactly where you want. I would use hyaluronidase to remove it and then wait at least a month and have it redone by a board certified dermatologist who is experienced with fillers
