Two monts ago I had two fillers applied by 2 different doctors to improve the appearance of hollowing under my eyes. The first one was Voluma, the second one Teosyal redensity 2. Now I feel that the fillers swell so much and it looks worse (is there a diet related reason for this? too much booze, salt.. or is t possibe that the hot weather and sun exposure can make it swell?). Or is this just a bad treatment. Or is it just me? I am considering getting the fillers dissolved (wasting all that money.
Answer: Eye bags after filler injections It looks like you have significant clumping of filler near your nose. I would recommend dissolving this part of the filler with hyaluronidase as I think you will look much more natural.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Two Much or Too Much Dear veronicamessi, Thank you for your question and the images provided. The question is a great one as you have already answered what will help you most – facial volume restoration. This can be performed with off the shelf fillers or with autologous fat transfer (fat from your body). The differences are convenience (off the shelf), natural appearance (both can do this), longevity (fat wins), and excellent changes in the overlying skin that make it more youthful and vibrant (fat transfer does this). Unfortunately the Voluma that was placed is more of a “lifter” than a “filler” for the region. It is hard to determine which filler is in excess along the tear troughs, but there is excess filler in the region. I would recommend conservative reduction in your filler. Be healthy and be well, James M. Ridgway, MD, FACS

Answer: Under Eye Fillers -- Use Cannulas and Go Conservative; Reverse With Hyaluronidase I suggest you reverse the fillers. There are some patients that can get excessive swelling. Fraxel and Venus legacy can help improve the appearance after the fillers are dissolved. Consider another type later with cannula. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Eye Bags Worse After Fillers Hi Veronica. I think the issue here is that you had too much of an inappropriate filler placed in your tear troughs. Voluma is great for the cheeks, but is too bulky a compound to place directly into the tear troughs. At this point I would go ahead and have the filler dissolved with Hyaluronidase. Best of luck.

Answer: FILLERS FOR HOLLOW LOWER EYELIDS Maybe you got too much filler injected and now that area has some water retention and swelling, there are many factors that can increase the swelling in that area, like to much salt intake, heat, hormonal changes with the menstrual cycle, sun exposure, etc. You will need to have some hyaluronidase to dissolve some of the filler to reduce the volume on that area. For that area is important to not correct it completely and to use a low hydrophilic filler like Belotero soft or Juvederm Volbella,
