It has been exactly 5 days since I had tear trough filler injected (Restylane). It looked perfect when I left. A few hours later I noticed a little swelling in the one area below the left eye. The next two or three days my eyes were very swollen so I didn’t notice the bubble. The swelling is subsiding and now I’m left with a bubble/lump on one side. Should I wait it out? Massage? Return to injector? I’m freaking out...

Answer: Swelling Post Tear Trough Fillers Thank you for sharing your question and photo. Based on the photo you have provided, it appears your filler was injected too superficially and will likely need to be dissolved. I strongly recommend following up with your injector to discuss your concerns at your earliest convenience. He/she can inject an enzyme called hyaluronidase, which will dissolve the filler within 24 hours. While this is a common problem with injections, please be sure you are seeing a board-certified specialist for any tear trough injections. Injections into this area require a skilled injector with extensive experience. If you are unsure if your injector is qualified, please seek a second opinion. Best of luck,

Answer: Lumps after Tear Trough Injections--reverse with hyaluronidase I recommend following up with your injector. The lump can be dissolved with hyaluronidase. It can take up to 2 weeks for final results after tear trough injections. Hope this helps.

Answer: 5 days out... Swelling and bruising is what you have. I don't believe you have the Tyndall effect, but you should see your injector for a diagnosis and treatment plan. Perhaps a short course of steroids might help.Best.
