Bad experience

Well, even after massage, ice packs, waiting time and even steroids, under my eyes still looks bad. I had no options to resolve it. Last time I saw the doctor, he said : I had an "edema " even before he apply the filler... So, if you know I am not a good candidate for fillers, why do it then ?
I look more tired than ever, everybody ask me all the time what happened to my face. When I told him that I had filler done 2 years and didn't look like this , he said " it was because you were younger".
I don't think I aged that much in 2 years. Anyhow, I knew he wouldn't do anything else about it.
It was uncomfortable to do it, but I asked for a refund. Which was promptly done.
I will make an appointment with the Dr who did for me 2 years ago, and see if she can do something to fix it.

Fillers are highly dangerous. It doesn't repair anything. In few days or later we will look terribly bad. Please people don't pay for fillers. Just lets ageing that's natural and we look natural as must be. I had fillers and I'm very sure it was the worst decision I made in my life. I was pretty now I look ugly and old :'-(

I believe it depends on the good sense of the person applying. I had it done 2 years ago and looked wonderful. Unfortunately I choose another professional and didn't have same luck.
And fillers are not permanent. It will dissolve in 6 to 9 months.
I will go back to the same person who did 2 years ago. I am pretty sure she can do something about it.
Thanks for sharing your story. I hope you get better too.

Restylane filler can be successfully dissolved with hyaluronidase. Just be sure to see someone experienced in dissolving the filler.

Yes ! She was able to apply hyaluronidase and dissolved a little. She is very careful with her clients and expert in fillers to make it look natural. I will stick with her from now. Very happy !

Hi BR lady. I am having the same issue. I had restylane silk in tear troughs done about a month ago and am noticing deep depressions near my cheek. I went in at the 3 week mark to have the filler dissolved; and while it looks less swollen, it still has not resolved completely. Can you share your physician's info.? Thanks.

So, as prescribed by the doctor, I started to take medication to help with inflammation and swelling...

I went to the office and spoke to the Dr about my concern. He prescribed steroids to diminish the swelling. I started yesterday. He will see me again in 2 weeks to check if is necessary anything else.... Hopefully not.
