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.
