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

Answer: Lump after Volbella Thank you for your question mcscottish. I understand your concern. Volbella is a hyaluronic acid filler designed to enhance the lips. It can also be used in other areas off-label. It is difficult to make an assessment without before photographs. Lumps are normal for 2 weeks after a treatment. I instruct my patients to massage the area for 5 minutes at a time, 5 times per day, for the first 5 days after a tear trough treatment. If lumps are still apparent at that time further massage may be performed in the office or the product can be dissolved. Please consult with a doctor for specific recommendations. Good luck!

Answer: Tear Trough Injections and Volbella I am sorry for your problem and at this point I would tell you to have the product dissolved with Hyaluronidase. When you have wrinkles or skin laxity, often injections in the tear trough make it look worse. This is an expert injector area and I would consult an expert in eye injections. Best, Dr. Green
