My doctor said the lump and blue tint under my right eye is a bruise. Volbella was injected 2 months ago. She gave me oral steroids and injected a steroid above the lump. She says volbella does not cause Tyndall and the lump is still swollen. She said she’d dissolve it if I’m really unhappy, but I look great, which I don’t. This, along with the uneven filler, make me question her capabilities for dissolving it because I know that comes with it own risks too. How can I find an experienced doctor?
