Periorbital Oedema Protocol

Periorbital oedema after tear trough filler can be caused by hydrophilic fillers that do not integrate well and retain fluid, anatomical variations that decrease fluid drainage, or excess filler placement. Management options include compressing and massaging the area, having the patient massage at home, waiting to see if it improves on its own, or using hyaluronidase to dissolve the filler if needed. The goal is to resolve the issue with minimum risk while considering the patient's psychosocial well-being.
