Location: Denmark Registered: 23 May 2008 Posts: 48 | Hello, I recently asked about help to remove a big fat lump under my eye, that once was injected as a fillertreatment (Restylane). The treatment was 3 years ago. The Restylane team told me, that sometimes it can get encapsulated and then dissolve slower. DR. Pickart said the same thing. He said, that he thought it may have been the immune system that made the filler get hardened/encapsulated. My one million dollar question is: Can i expect it to ever dissolve, if it is true, that the encapsulation is the problem? I'm not so happy about the idea of surgical removal. Also, if it has been hardened like this, will massage help at all? |

If you decide to have the surgery, remember that taking good care of yourself after the surgery can help to rebuild the skin and improve health. Best Wishes ~The SkinBio TeamThis message has been edited. Last edited by: Skin Biology, |
Location: Gothenburg Registered: 04 November 2010 Posts: 6 | Hello again Fjellebasse! I must ask you, do your lump get smaller with time or do it have the same size for three years? I have heard that restylane can stay under the eyes for severel years so maby your lump will disolve by time? |
