Edema in cosmetic treatments occurs when certain fillers attract water, causing the area to swell slightly. Medium-density fillers are often used for areas needing volume, but they can sometimes have hydrophilic properties, meaning they absorb water and expand. While this can work well in other facial areas, under the eyes, it can lead to puffiness instead of the desired smooth, contoured look.
In this case, the client had mild edema due to the medium-density filler used in the under-eye area. This led to a puffier appearance, which, combined with natural under-eye hollowness, made the treatment area look imbalanced. Dr. Bector decided to remove a small portion of the existing filler to address the edema, then replace it with a very soft-density filler less likely to attract water.

Why a Soft-Density Filler?
The key to achieving a natural under-eye appearance in this case was choosing a filler with less hydrophilic properties. Soft-density fillers, which are gentler and less likely to attract water, help to maintain a balanced look without causing puffiness. They are ideal for delicate areas like the under-eye because they provide subtle volume without drawing in excess moisture.
For this treatment, Dr. Bector carefully removed a bit of the original filler and replaced it with a soft-density filler. This approach allowed him to create a smooth transition under the eye, filling the hollow without risking more edema. The result is a refreshed, natural appearance that feels balanced and looks youthful.
