I received Volbella by Juvederm under my eyes. After 4 months or so I got a winter head/sinus cold (which I'm still not sure if it's related), however I woke up with 2 swollen eyes. I ended up getting hyaluronidase acid injected in both under eyes. Both eyes went down. I noticed a hard lump and swelling on my left eye. The swelling is not too bad but the bump concerns me. I plan to get another HA injection next week. Could it be possible that my body rejected this filler? If so, did my cold trigger it (the fillers were fine for 4 months prior). Just trying to find out if this is common and if I decide to get fillers in the future is this filler not a good one for me. From what I can read and what I've been told the filler I got is one of the best. Do you think it's worth giving it another shot in the future?

Fillers can be unpredictable on the area under the eyes; rejection is not typical and I have certainly not seen this in my experience. Consider getting a different type of filler for future injection if you decide to proceed ;even though fillers are convenient consider ac onsult with a plastic surgeon to see if either fat grafting or eyelid surgery is a better option for you.
Good luck
