My tear trough has been overfilled with Restylane, how long before the results fade?

I had Restylane put in my tear troughs. My right eye is perfect, but my left is overfilled. It seems to be making a crease on my cheek because it has been overfilled. How many months before the filler fades a bit? I want my left eye to look normal and perfect like the right.

It will take some time (a few months to possibly years) depending on the product used. I would discuss your options with the professional who injected the product.

Restylane usually lasts 3-6 months, but it takes almost 15 days for the swelling to go away. The problematic eye might just be swollen, though there is the possibility of overcorrection. If the latter is the case, it might take up to two months for the results to fade. That said, there is a way to dissolve the filler with an enzyme called hyaluronidase.

It may take several months before the filler starts to fade. One option is to inject Hyaluronidase, which is designed to break down the filler. At that point, one could retouch with Restylane if needed.

I had a filler six months back, and as the results fade away I would like to get another filler treatment. However, I have developed a small lump under the skin in my laugh line which is not visible, but I can feel it when I press the area. Can I have more filler with the lump still there, or does that need to be addressed first?

I had Restylane injected into the perpendicular lines above my upper lip last week. When the swelling went down, the areas that were injected looked exactly like it did before the treatment. Could the filler be inert or defective? I feel like it is an "Emperor's New Clothes" story!
