Getting Filler Dissolved

  Hi and thank you for your question! Injection of fillers under the eyes requires great experience to maintain a natural and uniform transition to the adjacent areas. In your cases, since it's already 3 months since the filler, there shouldn't be any swelling left although comparison of current pictures with pictures taken before injection is still highly recommended to ensure the volume is due to filler. If confirmed, then it will be up to you if you want to wait for another 2-3 months for the filler to wear off (in case it's something like Belotero or Restylane) or speed up with enzyme injection. A follow up with your doctor would be the best approach. I hope it helps and good luck!
