Under eye filler swelling after 3 years, should I be concerned? (Photo)

Hello, and thank you for your question about swelling under the eye. This is very common. Although it can seem alarming at the time, it is just your bodies response to the virus. When we get sick, our body attacks any foreign "agents" in the body to get rid of them. This response causes the swelling, but it will subside when your sickness is over. You can always add an antihistamine while you are dealing with the swelling to take it down. While the filler may look like it has all dissolved, there will still be filler deep in the tissue for possibly many years. I hope this answers your question, good luck on your journey and I hope you feel better!

Based on your nicely posted, one photo an over two year filler injection to the tear troughs or lower eyelids most likely is metabolized away. But it depends on what type filler was injected. If it was a hyaluronic acid, it should be away or you might have residual micro granulomas? But since you have a sinus infection, most likely after you were over this episode of the “” flu seek a lid ultrasound to see what the swelling might have been due to. Expect fee to range from $500-$1200 for the ultrasound. Regards.
