I'm 60yrs old and had my undereye hollows filled with restylane about 16 months ago. In addition I had some juvederm in the area where my outer eye meets my upper cheek because of the depression that can occur. I was pleased with the results but I found as it dissipated I left with a residual "bubble" of oval shaped filler about an inch long that seems to be situated in it's own pocket. I've tried cold compresses, warm compresses, as well as massage to no avail. Is there anyway to get rid of it?
