How is tear trough filler supposed to feel?

Thanks for your question and in an ideal world, one should hopefully feel nothing extraordinary in the tear troughs following injections if they were injected slowly and deeply in the area being treated.  We do see swelling for up to two weeks in some but the area should not feel hard – so I would recommend that you contact your provider, tell them what is going on, and perhaps see them.  In any event, if at two weeks you are not happy, the filler can be dissolved with hyaluronidase and the area will return to what it was before you had the injections.  Good luck.

Thank you for your question.  All hyaluronic acid fillers, including Volbella, can feel slightly firm after injection.  Typically, over the course of a few weeks, the filler should soften and blend into your skin.  Volbella is a particularly nice product for sensitive areas like the undereyes and tear troughs because its a very thin and soft filler, and it typically blends into the skin rather quickly.  That said, if your injector injected larger boluses of Volbella at each injection point, it may take a little longer for it to fully blend in.  If you still notice the firmness under your skin in a few weeks, please follow-up with your injector to discuss your concerns.  He/she may be able to gently massage the filler to blend it out.  Best of luck!
