I had Volbella injected in my tear troughs 1 week ago. There are pronounced ridges under each eye. I know that some swelling may still be present, but the ridges are so delineated that I'm wondering if product was injected too superficially. Also, if I need to have it dissolved with hyaluronidase, does that get rid of all the filler and leave me back at square one? The reason we used Volbella is because I previously had restylene used and the swelling was severe and lasted a solid three weeks.

Answer: Volbella results Thank you for your question Sharon191. I understand your concern. Volbella is a hyaluronic acid filler designed to enhance the lips. It can also be used in other areas off-label. Swelling is normal for 2 weeks after an injection. I recommend that my patients gently massage the tear trough area for 5 minutes at a time, 5 times per day, for the first 5 days. This will smoothen out any lumps and bumps. Final results are seen after 2 weeks. We have our patients return at that time to assess the results. More product can be used at that time if further enhancement is desired. Please consult with a doctor for specific recommendations. Good luck!

Answer: Volbella tear trough injections I would wait at least another week as you may still have some swelling from the injections themselves. You can then decide if hyaluronidase is needed. Even if the hyaluronidase is injected in small amounts, it is hard to predict how much of the filler it will dissolve so you may need to get treated again with filler. Good luck!
