Will Restalyne injections under eyes eventually go away or do I have to get it dissolved?

It will eventually go away but it may be take a long time. Sometimes, there is also eye fat that develops. Best to communicate with your injector or see an oculoplastics specialist.

Yes, Restalyne filler will eventually dissolve on its own, however it may take awhile. Restylane may last anywhere from six to eighteen months, depending on the formula. Fillers in places like the lips, for example do not last as long due to their thinner texture. For beneath the eyes, expect the filler to last between 9-12 months. Best, Dr. Emer.

Hi @Ski bunny! Hyaluronic acid facial filler products that were previously injected into an improper tissue plane can be dissolved by hyaluronidase injections. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!

Under eye fillers are tricky and different people's bodies respond to the injections in different ways. If you are not happy with the injections, I would recommend dissolving the product. It may also be possible to use a small amount of dissolver so that the product doesnt go away completely. Fillers under the eyes often last many years without dissolving. If you are unhappy, its best to dissolve.

Restylane and other hyaluronic acids are self limited filler. The length of time they will last depends on the product used. Thinner products resolve faster than thicker products. Should you choose not to wait, hyaluronidase injections can be employed to directly dissolve residual product. With regards to your specific question, the length of time will depend upon the actual product used. At 5 months you may have as long as 1 year to wait for the thickest products to dissolve of their own accord.As always, discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon (ABPS).Donovan Rosas MD

I'm sorry that you are unhappy with your filler treatment. The product will be metabolized gradually. Depending on the filler used it may take a year or so. If you would like the product dissolved you can elect to have that done which will obviously get you there quicker.

It will dissolve on its own. If you are not satisfied with the outcome you can have it dissolved too with hyaluronidase. Consult a trusted practitioner in your area to know more about the procedure.

Hi, thank you for your question. The filler in the tear trough will eventually go away on its own but it will take time. In that area, fillers tend to stay longer than expected. If you really dislike the way it looks, I suggest visiting an expert provider and having it dissolved. 
Best of luck, -Melody PAC

Hi there,Dermal fillers under the eyes can last longer than a year so if you are unhappy with your results have those dissolved sooner than later with hyluronidase. All the best from a fellow New England skin bunny. 

Unfortunately, Restylane and other hyaluronic acid fillers can last almost indefinitely in the lower eyelid region. I would recommend visiting a plastic surgeon who can dissolve the remaining Restylane and use autologous fat grafting to fill in the hollows that you may have. Autologous fat grafting will produce natural and near permanent results in the hands of a well-versed plastic surgeon. Good luck from New York City
