Hi. I've had filler under my eyes in the top of the cheekbone (circled in red) and it's very visible, uneven and lumpy. Do I just not have the kind of skin that can take fillers, or did my injector use the wrong type of filler for the area or inject it too superficially?

Answer: Hyaluronidase Fillers like Juvederm and Restylane that are made of hyaluronic acid can be dissolved easily by hyaluronidase. These fillers dissolve on their own with time. But if you are not satisfied with the outcome, you can have it dissolved. Consult with your doctor to know more.

Answer: Filler visible at skin surface Hi there. It is difficult to assess from the photo and would likely require in person assessment. That being said, it is possible that the filler was injected to close the the surface of the skin. Typically in that region injecting deep on the bone gives better results with fewer complications. In theory a hyaluronic acid filler should be broken down by your body overtime, that being said, when a filler is injected in the wrong plane, it can be very stubborn and will not be metabolized easily. Likely dissolving it is your best course of action, especially because you are unhappy with your result.
