Doctor recommended that I should let him inject a small steroid shot into the puffy/ baggy part of my right eye. He thinks it's old filler. Should we do a small about of hylenex? & Should I let him inject a small about of steroid in there? Or just fill around the bag? Thank you.

Answer: Steroid for Puffy Under Eye after Filler Without an exam, it is impossible to comment specifically. However, I can think of no reason to use a steroid in this area except for a very specific granuloma and I can think of many possible problems. If the puffiness you are worried about is that between the 2 depressions (orbital rim and lower eyelid border) then your problem is probably from injecting the wrong filler in the wrong place producing edema (swelling) from disruption of the under eye lymphatics. If the filler is really "old," hyaluronidase will not do anything and the only option is to simply wait for the filler to wear off.
