I had Boletero 8 weeks ago ½ syringe on both cheek so not much , but now have a massive bag under the corner on my left eye , it looks AWFULL the doctor told me it was water retention I have never suffer from puffy eyes in my life and now look awful , she told me that putting some hyaluronic acid could make it worse , how long would this go and must of all will it go ? I am doing some radio frequency to help but without any result . I have sent another post but without photos here are some photos, any advise on how long this will stay under my eyes ??

Tell your injector to inject the area with hyaluronidase, it will dissolve the HA instantly. I haven't heard anything good about that product.

Nearly 5 months and i still have puffy eyes ;-(( I have tried everything , but i am still to scared to have a hyaluronidase injection in case it make it worse. Does anyone else had the same problem with fillers and how long it lasted ?
The puffiness under eyes my left eye in now very wrinkle compare to the right one which make me look very odd . Any suggestion ?

I wish i did but the doctor at the time told me it was risky instead she told me to have radiofrequency which i did 6 of them and i have now fat atrophy on my cheeks and under my left eye, this has and still is a nightmare RF are the worse treatment you can have when it goes wrong . my left eye is now even more wrinkled and creepy and uneven due to the RF going to close underneath and damaged it, dents on my cheeks and fat loss i have now got flat cheeks and need fat transfer .. All this has made me very depressed . ;-((

Belotero... is very very thin. was she using it to create volume for your cheeks? if so this is not the product to use for that. I've had it injected around eye area with great success. This product is made to be injected very superficially under the skin. Where as a volume filler thats thicker has to injected close to the bone. Great thing is Belotero does not last very long!

When I had belotero last fall... Under eyes it only lasted about 4 mths... I honestly think what is happening to us in the cheek and under eyes area is that the fillers when injected can hit that sinus cavity area and if they do we are blocking our ability to drain the lymphatic fluid therefore creating pockets of fluid under the eye... For some this blocked / aggrivated sinus cavity fluid is able to eventually break back open and disappear and for others it may never open up again and 2 yrs go by and you still have blockage..... I've been doing lymphatic massage and its helping to relieve the fluid it does help and takes few minutes to do. Also, if you live in an area with high pollen allergies it looks worse... When I was in Caribbean this past week... I had very light swelling compared to when I'm home.... From what I've read and discussed with 3 PAs I truly believe that the blocked cavity is causing this problem for so many of us

Utube has some great videos on how to do the massages... Just search "lymphatic massage under eyes" it easy to do and just takes few mins... You want to make sure you don't apply too much or too little pressure. Goal is to move the fluid out of you body...

I certainly do agree!!! After restlane injections under my eye 4 years ago, I had bags under my dark circles that never were there before and for at least 2 months after injections, I would wake up in the middle of the night with a tremendous sinus headache. Finally had an MRI which showed the restlyane was resting on top on my sinuses. Fillers are fillers and I dont think it matters which one is used, unless the tyndol effect is a concern, and thy all have reactions on certain people and also depends on the expertise of the doctor. I would have opted for surgery if I new then what I know now. It should never never be done under the eye!

Hi ,
Unfortunately I had 6 radio frequency sessions over the filler hoping this will help with the puffiness , this was a big mistake because this has made it worse , the puffiness did go down it took around 7 months , it is not fully down but not as puffy so do have hope , but I have now loose skin underneath like empty balloon sac , I will post a photo it look awful , I think this was cause by the Radio Frequency which left me with scars under the eyes, very bad skin texture and Dents on my cheeks and wish I left it alone and let the filler go out on its own . I would not recommend Belotero under the eyes but even less recommend Radio Frenquency . If you guys suffer from puffiness after filler leave it alone and wait if you can till it goes, or get an hyaluronidase injection by someone who has a LOTS of experience with that.

Oh my goodness. :( I'm so sorry to hear what you are having to deal with.
I saw that you submitted a question to the doctor Q&A section and I'm really glad you did. Hopefully the opinions they share will be helpful to you.
You mentioned you had the Belotero injected into your cheeks. Did you also have some injected into the under eye area? I'm thinking no, but just want to make sure I'm understanding correctly.
I can definitely understand why you would be upset by that. Hopefully it will move through your system quickly and your eyes will go back to the way they were before. Please keep us updated on how you are doing and what changes you are seeing, k?
Yes, I agree and am glad you are sharing your experience with us so others can learn from it. I just wish you didn't have to experience it. :-/
