I’ve had filler injected in my tear troughs 4x - 3x with my own fat with an 18g needle, 1x with juvederm. Last injection 5 years ago. I’ve had persistent lumps under my eyes, initially believed to be juvederm and was treated twice with hyaluronidase without resolution. 2 years ago, a PS performed a transconjunctival bleph and removed scar tissue (a decent amount, according to him). However, I still have visible lumps and really want them gone. What are my options? Repeat bleph? Thank you.

The hyaluronic acid is a safe choice for fillers even in the presence of auto-immune disorder unless during their treatment with immunosuppressive medications. Absolutely avoid permanent or semi-permanent fillers. Good luck!
