Hi! I had Volbella injections to my tear troughs 3 weeks ago and still have slight discolouration and very obvious lumps under the skin. My right eye is worse and I can visibly see where the doctor injected the filler as she has created a puffy under eye that was not previously there. I don't suffer from under eye bags, just hollows troughs so people keep commenting on how tired I look (assuming the filler is puffy eyes from lack of sleep). Should I get vitrase or is this typical of Volbella
