Over a year ago after a juvaderm injection, I was left with two dark spots under my eye. I was told they would go away. They won't! I think it is a hemociterin staining. It has been a year, shouldn't it be gone by now? What do you recommend? Should I go back to the same doctor? I was not happy with him but hold him responsible. Is he? Would he help me? What is your opinion?
If it is post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation that can be treated with topical creams. Hemosiderin staining after a very bad bruise will usually fade after a year, but sometimes it can take another six months. See a cosmetically savvy dermatologist or other cosmetic specialist.
Had Juvederm done under my eyes. After the 1st treatment - a very uneven result-one eye socket looked half an inch or more lower.Went in to correct it, and instead of a correction - ended up with a big protruding bulge under my right eye and a small "ridge" under my left. Went back asking the PA to fix this. He tried to move the Juvederm, which did nothing except cause a lot of pain, and told me to put ice on the area & use a bleaching cream. As I expected - zero result. How can this be fixed?
Hyaluronidase will dissolve the Juvederm and improve the situation significantly. I agree that generally a doctor is better than a PA at injecting, but injecting filler is more art than medical science and so it depends on the doctor's technical and aesthetic skills. And sometimes injections have unexpected results even with excellent technique.
I just had my lip augmentation with Juvederm around 3 hours ago, it still numb. The problem is, while in the office, my lips were nice and even, however, i just noticed that they look crooked. Is this a normal reaction? Should i worry about it?
Every person processes anesthetic differently, shorter duration in some people, longer in others depending on the level of enzymes that break down anesthetic in the person's circulation.
That is particularly true if you had both a nerve block and local anesthetic. Local anesthetics and nerve blocks in addition to numbing also temporarily weaken the action of motor nerves, the ones that control function of muscles. That is why there is some slight asymmetry that you are seeing.
By 2-3 hours from now all the action of the anesthetic should dissipate. If there is still numbness or asymmetry then, please contact your injecting physician as soon as possible.
