Q.
I had fillers (I think restalyne or a generic version thereof actually) injected under my eyes to reduce the bags of wrinkles I have there. This was done on the 14th of December 2012. Since having the fillers done, I look absolutely worse every day.I have swelling and a bad ‘shift’ of the wrinkles under my eyes which is the area where the filler was injected.My wrinkles were previously partially hidden under my glasses, but now this area seems to have ‘dropped’ to below the frames of my glasses. I look and feel horrible. I, and those who know me, say I look worse for having done fillers, even though I obviosly had it done to look somewhat ‘fresher’.Is there a remedy for the swelling and ‘drop’ of myn wrinkles? Have you heard of this happening before? I am desperate as the fillers were done a month ago and my eyes look worse every day with swelling.I am worried sick.

Fillers in the under-eye and Tear Trough area can be problematic and can take weeks to properly settle down.
It is difficult to give a useful opinion via email. However, one of the advantages of HA fillers is that they can be reduced by injecting the enzyme hyalase. You need to see an experienced Cosmetic Doctor to discuss the options for resolving this issue.
Sorry I can’t be of more help. I would be happy to see you if you were local to Surrey.
